Bear Sweater is a sweater in a sophisticated brioche pattern. Worked in two different types of yarn you get a spectacular look.
This sweater is worked top down. You may adjust the lenght according to your preferences.
The model is suitable for a short sweater look. It is easy to knit an ordinary length of sweater instead of a short model. However you will need more yarn.

TIPS regarding choice of size
If you are between sizes, choose the smaller one
There is a positive ease of 23 (19, 23, 17, 21) (19, 17, 15, 13, 11) cm / 9 (8, 9, 7, 8) (8, 7, 6, 5, 4) inches in the blouse. The ease is less in the larger sizes as experience shows that is the best way.
