Mix up your wardrobe with this stylish jumper that has dolman-sleeves and a relaxed fit, all in smooshy brioche. Knitted in two parts, this garment includes short-row shaping on the shoulders and a pretty garter stitch detail on the yoke and cuffs.
NOTES ON PATTERN
- This oversized jumper is worked in pieces and sewn together when finished.
When working the two colour brioche, row instructions will indicate the side facing and the yarn to use.
-
The side shaping is worked on the 7th stitch (the 4th knit column) on a LS LC row. The yoke is worked in contrast garter stitch (DC).
-
The shoulders are worked using German Short Row shaping.
-
The sleeves are picked up and worked down from the body in two row striped garter stitch.
-
When a row count is mentioned, this will be the number of rows visible to count, i.e an LC row and a DC row = 1row
-
This garment has not been blocked for the purpose of retaining the bounciness of the stitch
