    Knitted sweater – Crazy Brioche Cardi (2-color version)

    #CRAZYBRIOCHE CARDI  let your imagination run wild 🙂
    A few words from the author
    #CrazyBriocheCardi is the fulfillment of my dreams of summoning the sun, even when there are clouds outside. Depending on your skills, you can make it in 2, 3 or even 4 colors (separate patterns in the collection). No matter what size you wear or how tall you are – this pattern will guide you step by step to a sweater that will express your temperament. I have described the pattern so that the cardigan is double-sided, which gives you even more styling possibilities!

    Design made of FOG yarn

    Description

     

    We start working on Crazy Brioche Cardi from the cuff of the left sleeve, in the round, we separate the front and back, then we go through the body working flat, we join the sweater in the round again and finish with the right cuff. Then we finish the pleat with a rib along with the collar and the bottom – this is how we finally regulate the dimensions of the sweater. This is a project for intermediate and advanced people. The construction is simple, but the two-color patent stitch (brioche) requires some practice. Of course, I am including a tutorial package on YouTube with the pattern, so you will be able to catch up on the missing skills.

    The photographs present #CrazyBriocheCardi madness squared in the version:
    “with a touch of decadence” – with ribs in one color (1) and brioche stripes in the same (1) and the second (2) additional (one of the testers showed that this version can be really very subtle);

    The pattern is described for the continental method. If you are using the eastern method, please take this into account when working on the project.

    TECHNIQUE AND STITCHES
    To make #CrazyBriocheCardi, it is useful to know the following
    techniques:
    – 2-color brioche stitch
    – knotted edge
    – ribbing with twisted right or left stitches
    – increasing stitches by lifting, from the crosswise thread and by yarn over
    – increasing and reducing stitches in the 2-color brioche stitch.

    If you don’t know all of them, you can use the tutorials on YouTube: a video showing the technique for making a 2-color brioche can be found HERE , links to all useful tutorials can be found HERE

    ACCESSORIES
    To make #CrazyBriocheCardi you need:
    – knitting needles (fixed or interchangeable) 60 cm or 80 cm in size 9 mm
    – knitting needles (fixed or interchangeable) 60 cm or 80 cm in size 6.5 mm; if you don’t like the magic loop method, you’ll also need 6.5 mm sock knitting needles
    – 2 markers (knitting markers); these should ideally be snap-in safety pins that can be moved or fastened to the eyelet if necessary, but you can easily replace them with a piece of thread in a contrasting colour
    – thread or spare string to put the stitches away
    – a knitting needle to close the stitches using the cylindrical method and hide the threads
    – a piece of thread and a crochet hook in size approx. 6 mm to cast on the stitches using the tubular cast on method; these can be omitted if you prefer the Italian cast on method.
