Big Brioche Turtleneck Pattern Download
A supreme sweater that brings comfort and joy to deepest winter, the Big Brioche Turtleneck in Till is big, cozy, and brimming with style! Till, our 100% Andean highland wool with a vintage sensibility, has a balanced 4-ply spin that really makes those brioche hills and valleys pop. You work the Big Brioche Turtleneck from the bottom up, knitting the front and back separately, and then seaming the two pieces together at the shoulders and collar. Pick up each sleeve from the shoulder and work it flat; the decreases are placed at the top of the sleeve so all the world can see that fabulous brioche shaping. Finally, you sew up the sleeve and side seams, leaving a little split hem detail at the bottom... The perfect cast on for midwinter warmth!
