Originally the Stolen Stitches Autumn 2025 KAL.

This sweater combines a contiguous sweater shoulder construction with brioche, which makes for an intriguing knit.
If you are new to contiguous shoulder construction, this is a great pattern to try it out on! All of the shoulders and sleeves are worked with increases only from the top down.
Gentle body pattern is created on the front and back by working increases and decreases on each side of the brioche panels. This creates shape to the body without ever changing the number of stitches.

Sleeves are kept full, with fast decreases towards the cuff and one by one ribbing that draws the cuff in.

There are kits available for the Meabh sweater available here. The workshop can be found here.
