Capture a Cozy Moment

I love my original Capture the Moment so much that I wanted to make another one, this time in cozier worsted weight.

Like the sport-weight version, this one is worked seamlessly from the top down in a modular fashion, so lots of fun to knit. The border stitch pattern, which is reversible, is worked using a few simple brioche stitches.

The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down in a modular fashion. A vertical provisional cast-on begins the back neck (off-center to camouflage the jog). Then horizontal provisional cast-ons get the shoulders started.

Back and fronts are worked separately until just below the armhole, and then worked all together as one piece.

Optional slant pockets are knit in.
