Christmas Party – three techniques in the same sweater

This one has everything. Half brioche, eyelet pattern and puff sleeves in the same sweater.

Christmas party – party sweater with half brioche, eyelet pattern and puff sleeves

It sounds like a lot, and it really isn't. The three techniques come one after the other, not at the same time. You finish one before the next begins, and on its own each of them is manageable.

What makes this one special is the needles. It is knitted on three sizes — six, seven and eight. Tighter where the garment has to hold its shape, looser where it has to drape. It looks like a small thing on paper and it is obvious on the body.

The half brioche gives weight at the bottom. The eyelet pattern opens things up towards the top. The puff sleeves take care of the rest.

This is the party sweater in my catalogue. The one you wear when someone asks where you bought it, and you get to say you didn't.
