Go With The Flow
Go with the Flow in this deliciously simple envelope style
sweater. Worked flat in rhythmic single brioche
and joined with ribbing (no seams!), you’ll find yourself
reaching for this squishtastic wrap again and again.

IMPORTANT TIPS - PLEASE READ BEFORE YOU MESSAGE ME
Think of this as a regular knit pattern with a brioche stitch, rather than a brioche pattern. It’s written with an older style brioche single rib instruction that is almost too simple (literally just one row repeated, without a complicated set-up row) - you’ll find yourself wanting to make it harder than it is, but please do not overthink it. BRIOCHE EXPERIENCE IS NOT NECESSARY. Keep in mind that it takes a couple of inches to see the pattern develop; the first inch or two will look super strange and incorrect. Have faith! When swatching, use a multiple of 3 to work the pattern, as this is what the pattern requires to develop.
Sizes
Small (32 – 38), Medium (40 – 48), Large (50 – 54)” bust
Generous ease with relaxed fit. If in doubt, go down
one size. Model shown is size Medium (blocked), worn on a size 38” bust. (Check out the difference in growth between unblocked and blocked sweater in the photos.)
Gauge
18.5 st and 16 rows over 4in/10cm in brioche rib (prior
to blocking). Blocking makes a significant difference to overall size and length.
