September Sweater - Petite Knit Women's

The September Sweater is a luxurious top-down brioche stitch sweater designed with minimal finishing and maximum comfort. This advanced pattern features a unique construction method that begins with the back yoke, progresses through picked-up shoulder stitches, and joins seamlessly to create a beautifully textured garment with almost no sewing required.

Construction Details

• Top-down construction with brioche stitch throughout
• Back yoke worked flat with increases, then shoulders picked up and worked separately
• Body worked in the round to hem after joining front and back yokes
• Sleeves picked up at armholes and worked in the round with shaping
• Folded double-rib neck edge (minimal finishing required)
