The Brianka Cardigan pattern pairs bold color contrast with the plush depth of brioche stitch. This classic raglan is worked seamlessly from the top down in one piece, with raglan increases. The sleeves are then worked in the round using long circular needles and the magic loop method, though double-pointed needles can be used as well.
