Brix is a tailored Ziggurat pullover with dramatic sleeves and some finer details. The sideways double-knitted collar is picked up from a crocheted chain and features this is the back stripe at centre back.
There is an optional back wedge for a swingier A-linish sort of fit – the mustard sweater in the photos. (The blue Caravan sweater is knitted without the wedge).

The simple 4-row bricks pattern on the cuffs creates a little drama.

  • Ziggurat: everything is knitted in one go, top to bottom
  • no seaming
  • very few ends to weave in

As usual, there’s the Helpful Table to keep track of increases from shoulder to underarm cast-on.
