The Sarah Pullover

This seamless top-down pullover begins with a brioche ribbing and then transitions with basic yoke increases to a stockinette body and flows seamlessly into the brioche front panel. When yoke increases occur, so do shifts in the brioche panel. The soft brioche panel will continue to shift throughout the body of the sweater; this will create a slight A-line shape for the body. The arms are separated and worked later. The cuffs on the arms begin mid forearm for a longer brioche cuff. The whole sweater is made with one strand of sport weight and one strand of mohair held together throughout.

Gauge: 18 sts/32 rounds=4 in/10 cm square in stockinette stitch with both merino sport & mohair lace worked in the round using body needles; 14.5 sts/42 rounds=4 in/10 cm square in brioche stitch with both merino sport & mohair lace worked in the round using body needles
