“When Fall arrives, I love bringing my favorite ‘knockaround’ sweaters out from summer storage and reintegrating them into my wardrobe. This classic pullover is an homage to coziness, featuring a generous cowl neck worked in squishy Brioche Stitch, a subtle A-line silhouette, doubled sleeve cuffs, and a Brioche Stitch yoke. The graphic Brioche columns spotlight the full-fashioned shaping details at the garment’s shoulders and neckline.” –Jared Flood

    • Sleeves are worked circularly from the lower edge to the underarm point. Stitches are bound off for underarm, then Sleeve caps are worked flat.
    • Cowl is picked up directly from neckline and worked circularly.
