The 222 Sweater knitting pattern suitable for advanced knitters. The pattern uses the 'two coloured brioche' technique that is modified to create a 2x2 ribbing. Hence the name '222 sweater'. The sweater has a little bit of positive ease and a dropped shoulder. The body is shaped, so around the waist it will be a little bit more fitted to prevent the sweater from stretching out. This sweater can be made for any gender in sizes XS through 5XL.
