Craft: Knitting

This pattern is available on Ravelry(goes to new website)(opens in a new tab).

Silas pairs cable columns with half brioche for a pullover that’s bursting with texture. Silas has the perfect blend of structure and softness with bouncy Merino 401 showing off its crisp stitch definition. Knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed, sleeve stitches are picked up from the body and worked flat to the wrist after shoulders are seamed. Cable pattern is both charted and written out; brioche pattern is written out only.
