STORMY’S front and back are both worked back and forth in garter ridges. Increases are made at sides and shoulders are shaped using short rows.

Front and back are knitted together at the shoulders with a brioche piece and when shoulders have been joined in this way, stitches for sleeves are picked up and knitted along armhole edges and sleeves are worked top down, still in brioche.

Sleeves and collar are finished with tubular cast off.
