Grab your needles and your broomsticks, knitters! It is time to conjure up a WITCH’S BREW SWEATER! Inspired by the original Witch’s Brew Cowl pattern, this sweater expands the spellbinding design into a full-sized garment perfect for autumn magic. Designed for knitters eager to practice a little stitch witchery, it uses stranded colorwork to create a Halloween project that’s both cozy and captivating. Whether you’re a seasoned Stitch Witch or an adventurous crafting wizard, this sweater is the perfect project to summon some seasonal flair. Brew up something special and cast your own creative spell this Halloween!

This sweater is knit seamlessly from the top down using four beautiful colors. Its deep yoke creates a cozy look—perfect for layering on those chilly nights spent brewing potions. If you prefer a more classic fit, fear not! The pattern includes a full set of alternative charts to create a shorter yoke depth. To help you craft your ideal garment, the pattern comes with a comprehensive modifications guide. Inside, you’ll find detailed instructions for adjusting sleeve circumference and yoke depth, as well as tips to customize your sweater to suit your personal style.

And for an extra touch of magic, I’ve included additional charts that let you customize your potion bottles—so you can make your witchy wares uniquely your own.

Please note: The stranded colorwork in this pattern is charted, but does not include written instructions.
