CONSTRUCTION
This sweater is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down. The sleeves are worked in the round from the top down. The collar, back neck shaping, cuff and hem are worked in 1 x 1 Ribbing. The yoke, body and sleeves are worked in 1 x 1 Slipped-Stitch Ribbing. The yoke increases create a motif that looks like brioche increases.

MODIFICATIONS
For a longer sweater, simply work more rounds to the body. Adding more rounds the final yardage will be different and more yarn is needed.
