The Breve Pullover is a worked top-down in the round, beginning with a tubular cast on and 1x1 ribbed turtleneck collar. The circular yoke is worked in a twist stitch pattern that creates subtle cables radiating from the collar through the sleeves and body. The sleeve stitches are placed on hold while the body is worked and finished with a ribbed hem and tubular bind off. The sleeve stitches are placed back on the needles, gradually decreasing to the cuff and finishing with a ribbed cuff and tubular bind off, repeating for the other sleeve.

  • This is a written pattern assuming intermediate sweater knitting knowledge and is not intended to be beginner friendly. Supplemental research or practice to learn new skills may be required to complete this project.

    This pattern requires a working knowledge of: knitting & purling both flat & in the round, german short row shaping, increasing, decreasing, tubular bind off, mini cable stitch (twist 2 right).

    Circular needles are used to work in the round, starting with 16” (40 cm) for the cast-on and switching to longer cable lengths as the yoke grows. The sleeves are made with the smallest cable length or preferred short circumference needles i.e DPNs or magic loop.

    Cast-on, bind-off, and short row methods suggested in this pattern are able to be substituted with any other method.
