The main feature of the sweater is the stitch pattern, a combination of half-brioche and garter stitch.

The recipe provides a detailed description of the construction and describes characteristics of brioche stitch fabric.

For textured stitch like this one, I would recommend non-bulky yarn. Fingering weight (many sock yarn would do) is fine or you can put together thin mohair and laceweight woool. For a lighter version, try cotton or cotton-linen blend (50 g/130 m and thinner).

As brioche “eats up” yarn, you would need more than for a usual sweater.
