Victoria Sweater is a seamless, top-down knitted brioche sweater with garter details. The fit is classic, with some ease over bust/chest. The raglan pattern creates a graphic detail on the upper body. Under arms garter stitches form the V-shaped sleeves. The sweater ends with either straight brioche top-down or an alternative ending with a fun and simple brioch pattern in each side.
Work in single color, two-color-brioche or go crazy with mixing colors. Adding neckline or cuffs with your favorite technique is optional as the sweater is constructed to work without, the choice is all yours!
