This pattern is available to purchase on Ravelry . Wind River is a side open slipover knitted in brioche ribs with two different weights of yarn, bulky and sport weight. Optional sidebands are available for flexible styling. Front and back pieces with selvage edges are worked flat from the bottom up, and shoulders are shaped with short rows, followed by three needle bind off to join. The collar is knitted in the round with the bulky yarn only. For brioche ribs, knit the lighter yarn rows relatively tight to keep the tension of the ribs even. Choose the size with 0–2" / 0–5 cm of positive ease shoulder width.
