Bravura, noun: a florid brilliant style: a show of daring or brilliance

Bravura Pullover was born out of a desire to use up all those bits of yarn left from previous projects. It is an all over colorwork sweater with a circular yoke and a simple, repetitive repeat. The motif and the way it’s repeated allow for a wide range of colors, and for using up lots of small quantities of yarn. It is flexible in that one could truly find all the leftover bits of yarn and never repeat the same color twice, including upwards of 15+ colors. Or one could find 3-7 skeins in their stash and repeat colors throughout the sweater, using those favor¬ite skeins together in a way that is still very wearable.

The colorwork motif is intentionally not very ‘pixelated’ as so many fair isle motifs are. This means that one can mix and match colors with less chance of the colors getting too muddy. The motifs intentionally showcase the colors without breaking them up too much. This makes for endless and superbly fun color play. Included in the pattern is a coloring page that you can use to try out some color possibilities. You can also use the schematics for this purpose.

Construction is top down and in the round. Yoke is circular, with increases happening between colorwork rows.
