Brume
Brume is a simple, kinda body, very cozy pullover … a perfect piece to throw on over a tee on cool spring and autumn days, or all winter. The pattern is the PERFECT tension to knit with Drops Air … you can see a stunning one below, knit up in pink by MeganKB – it’s stunning!
Description
This sweater is knit from the top down (meaning you can try it on as you go and add length to suit your own personal style), beginning with the folded collar. I love how a folded collar gives more structure to the high neck, while also keeping the collar from being too tight on my neck. (I don’t know about you – but I get very uncomfortable if clothing squeezes against the front of my throat. The structure of this collar keeps my neck warm, without the restrictive feeling of a classic turtleneck!) After knitting the yoke, you will separate the sleeves and place them on hold while the body is finished. The sleeves are then returned to the needle, picking up stitches for the underarm for a totally seamless sweater!
