Brady Sweater 2507-01 | Printed Knitting Pattern

The Brady Sweater is worked from the top down, holding one strand of Sandnes Garn Sunday together with one strand of Tynn Silk Mohair throughout.

The printed pattern includes two versions of the Brady Sweater: a high-neck sweater worked in a single colour and a low-neck sweater worked with a stripe pattern.

Please note: This is a written knitting pattern, but the textured stitch pattern is worked from charts.

The back is worked first, back and forth, with increases used to create the European shoulder shaping. Stitches are then picked up for each front shoulder before the two front sections are joined.

The front and back are joined and the body is worked in the round to the desired length. Stitches are picked up around each armhole for the sleeves, which are also worked in the round. Finally, the neckband is worked in ribbing.
