Briggs Street is knit in the round, from the top down, employing only basic increases and decreases for shaping (no short rows!), and no seaming.

These beautiful photographs show Briggs Street being worn with a couple inches of positive ease, but it also wears well with up to 1” of negative ease. If your measurement falls between sizes, choose the smaller for a form-fitting sweater, or the larger for a great layering piece.
