Product description

Architectural colorplay and modest shaping in the Bract pullover pay homage to handcrafted antique armor, in which plates are laced together creating curved bands of repeating shapes. Bract features a deep yoke coupled with slender sleeves, adding drama to this sweater’s simple construction. Worked in woolen-spun Loft yarn, Bract exudes modern elegance and coziness that flatters.

The body and sleeves are worked circularly from the bottom up and joined at the underarms. The yoke is then worked circularly up to the neck. Short Rows: Sunday Method are used to shape the upper back and back neck.

 

Designer: Sarah Shepherd

Collection: Wool People, Volume 13
