NOTES
• For techniques you don’t know, please visit our online knitting glossary at www.interweave.com/interweave-knitting-glossary.
• The sweater is worked back and forth in separate pieces and seamed. The collar is worked in the round.
• In brioche stitch, when counting stitches, each slipped stitch with its companion yarnover counts as one stitch. When counting rows, one visible row counts as two rows.
• During shaping, if there are not enough stitches to work a complete cable, work remaining stitches in Brioche Rib.
