Bostock is a seamless cardigan, worked from the top down with a deep V-neck and waist decreases. The lower body is cast on and worked perpendicularly to the upper body in Brioche stitch. The Brioche section is shaped with short row gores at the sides of the body, creating a flared silhouette. Long sleeves are worked in the round with decreases and a fitted cuff.
