The detail you will love making
A little texture goes a long way.
The deep brioche ribs give this simple shape its cosy character. The shoulders curve naturally as the fabric grows, and the soft collar adds a little extra warmth around the neck.

A few things before you begin
How it comes together
From the first stitch to the finish.
Start at the back hem and knit continuously toward the front hem. The piece needs two side seams; the open neck folds into a collar. Make a brioche swatch first so you can see how your chosen yarn behaves.
Choose your size and gather your supplies.
Check your yarn, tools and measurements before casting on.
