Pattern Information

UPDATE: All sizes closed by 48 (52, 55, 58 ½, 61 ½)" / 67.5 ( 69, 71, 72, 73) cm.

Charade Brioche Pullover is a build your own sweater adventure. This pattern shows ten examples of how this pattern can be worked up.

You can work the larger trim motif in the pattern or the smaller alternative chart (not in pattern). You can work the Audrey Hepburn inspired stand up neck, or a wide, short turtle neck, or a crew neck. 

You will be guided, based on your high chest measurement, to a set of measurements with the cross-back, armhole depth, upper arm and cap set for you. From there you can tweak everything from the number of motifs (large or small) used at the hip and cuff, the fit of the waist and chest, the number of decreases to the waist front and back, the sleeve length, and more. It’s all up to you!

Not ready for customization? No problem, you can also knit the sweater as designed by following the pattern.

What Students Are Saying About Patty's Classes

  • To anyone who’s on the fence about joining this class: Just do it! We haven’t even started the KAL, and I feel like I’ve already gotten well over the $28-worth of learning. - Lizzie

  • It is extremely hard not to write a book with all that I have learned about knitting a sweater and being able to modify the pattern to my preferences. Patty is a wonderful teacher who really encourages the knitter to try and figure things out on their own . . . but always there with her ever watchful eye. - Mary

  • The videos so far have been incredible. The way I figure it, I’ve already learned enough to feel like the class is a great big bargain. - Elizabeth
