Product Description
Noro Brioni is a lovely women’s relaxed-fitting yoke pullover knit in Kuanui, showcasing a beautiful colorwork pattern. The sweater is knit in the round from the bottom up, and the sleeves and the body are then joined at the underarm to work the yoke. Noro Haunui is a beautiful worsted weight wool yarn with rich, undyed colors and a slightly rustic, wooly feel. This unique yarn comes from a small secluded flock of sheep in New Zealand that celebrates the color range found in the fleeces of these mixed Merino and Romney sheep. The colorwork pattern is in chart form only.

Noro Brioni Sweater
What is Being Made
The Noro Brioni is an intermediate-level knitted sweater designed in six sizes ranging from Small to 3X, with finished bust measurements from 40 inches (101.5cm) to 60 inches (152.5cm). This pullover sweater features a length from back neck spanning 26 to 28.5 inches (66 to 72.5cm), with upper arm widths between 14 and 19 inches (35.5 to 48.5cm). The sweater is shown in size Small in the pattern photography.
Techniques Used
The Noro Brioni employs several advanced knitting techniques that create a sophisticated finished garment. The sweater is worked seamlessly in the round, eliminating the need for seaming pieces together and creating a smooth, continuous fabric. The construction uses a bottom-up approach, meaning the knitter begins at the lower edge and works upward toward the neckline. Stranded colorwork is incorporated into the design, a technique where multiple yarn colors are carried across the back of the work to create patterned sections. This method requires careful tension management to ensure even stitches and prevent the carried yarns from pulling the fabric too tightly.
Stitches Used
The pattern utilizes fundamental knitting stitches combined with shaping techniques. Core stitches include knit stitches and purl stitches, which form the foundation of the fabric. Shaping is accomplished through decreases (such as knit two together and purl two together) to reduce stitch count and create fitted areas, and increases (including make one and make one purl stitch) to add stitches for shaping expansion. The pattern incorporates ribbing, a textured stitch pattern created by alternating knit and purl stitches, which is used at edges and finished with bind off in ribbing to maintain the elastic quality. Bind off (known as cast off in UK terminology) secures the final stitches to prevent unraveling.
Materials
The Noro Brioni requires Noro Haunui yarn in two colorways. The main color (MC) calls for 3 to 5 balls of 200g weight depending on size, using Noro Haunui #03. A single 200g ball of Noro Haunui #01 serves as the contrasting color (CC) for the stranded colorwork sections. The pattern specifies one US 9/5.5mm circular needle measuring 16 inches (40cm) in length for working the sweater in the round. Stitch markers are required to track pattern repeats and shaping points throughout construction.
