Worked in brioche, the Tove Sweater is the pride and joy of anyone who wears it. The impressive striping makes the sweater an interesting knit as well as an eye-catcher. Knitted using the Novita Woolly Wood and Tuuli yarns held together, the raglan sweater is worked in brioche from the top down and without any seams.

The pattern features two different versions. The Relaxed Tove version is a trendy oversize sweater knitted with large needles. Slim version is worked in half brioche and a smaller tension.
