Champagne Supernova Sweater English

Champagne Supernova Sweater Knitting Pattern (English)

Champagne Supernova Sweater is a model with saddle shoulders knitted in two-coloured brioche with both colours worked on the same row/round, which makes it reversible. The sweater is worked from top to bottom. First, the yoke is knitted back and forth with increases on each side of the shoulders and towards the neckline at the front. At the bottom of the neckline the work is joined and worked in the round. When the shoulder part has reached the desired measurement, the work is divided into front and back pieces, which are worked back and forth separately, to shape the armhole. The body is joined at the bottom of the armhole, worked in the round and finished with a hem in double knitting across the knitting direction.

Brioche stitches are knit up along the armhole and the sleeve is worked in the round and straight down with cuffs in double knitting. Finally, stitches along the neckline are knit up, and finished with a trim in double knitting.
