Basic Brioche / Grei Patent
This is just a basic brioche stitch sweater, really easy to knit. The big needles makes it fly off the needles and there’s no increases or decreases to remember as you go.
Knitted bottom-up in brioche stitch. You work the body first, and pick up stitches for sleeves later.

Skill level
Easy
- It is difficult to measure brioche as it is so stretchy. Knit loosely on the stated needle size, make sure you dont tighten the working yarn.
** Brioche will grow in width.
*** As it grows in width it will end up shorter than it looks on the needles.
