This cozy pullover is knit from the top down in an usual construction with increases over the shoulder line. The yoke, cuff, and hem are worked in two-color brioche, and optional short rows raise the back neck for a more comfortable fit.

A strand of Berroco’s Aerial Color, a laceweight superkid mohair and silk blend is held along with both colors of solid Ultra Wool DK, for an exceptionally soft fabric with a watercolor-like color effect and a lovely halo.
