Notes

Made the smallest size, but also wanted it to be slightly shorter. To do so I eliminated one repeat of the traveling row 1 (and its subsequent plain brioche rows). Also only knitted 3 brioche rows to start and then 12 rows before switching to traveling row 2 section. This made the total length 22” inches.

For the crewneck, simply picked up sts one for one around the neckline, then knit in 1x1 rib for 15 rows. Decreased about 5 sts on the next row, folded the collar then bound off using a picking up stitches bind off. (I do not know if this is even a thing or not/ what the name is.)

Forgive the wrinkles in one photo, I had been wearing it under a coat. Ha!

~ After wearing it A LOT over the last couple months the sweater length has stretched a little. If I were to knit again (and I definitely may because I love it so much!) I would probably eliminate two repeats instead of one. Also, I do love how amazingly cozy this is, but there has been some major pilling in the underarms where I have a lot of friction from wear. Hoping that will settle down as the initial fuzz wears off. Just as an fyi for those wondering.
