The Pattern
The Briar Rose Pullover is an intermediate knit pattern. The pullover itself is a fitted sweater with very little or no ease. Lion Brand's Color Made Easy, which is a bulky weight category 5 yarn, was used to work up this sweater. Unfortunately, Lion Brand has discontinued this yarn. At the end of this post, you can explore some of the other yarns my testers have used for knitting up the Briar Rose Pullover.
This design is knitted bottom-up and displays a beautiful knotted cable on the left and right of the front panel. Sleeves are also knitted bottom-up and are designed to be set-in sleeves. Front and back panels, as well as sleeves, are seamed together and stitches are picked up for the collar.
Final bust sizes include: 32(35, 39, 43, 47, 51, 54).

Notes
-Headpiece and bottom straps are adjustable to your desired lengths.
-When bottom straps are tied, the headpiece will stretch a bit, so take into consideration when crocheting the length of the headpiece.
Earpiece (Make 2)
With your 10.0mm hook and Go For Faux yarn, make a magic circle and chain 3. Make 11 triple crochets into the circle. Slip stitch into the 2nd ch of the beginning chain 3. Fasten off. Close the circle by pulling the beginning yarn and weave in the ends.
Headpiece
With 6.0mm hook and worsted weight yarn, slip stitch 6 times into the top of one earpiece with worsted weight yarn.
Row 1: ch1, sc across
Row 2: ch2 (counts as a st), *skip a st and dc in the next st, dc into the skipped st; repeat from * one more time, dc in the last st (6)
Repeat rows 1 and 2 to desired length to reach the opposite inner earpiece. (Take into consideration that when worn, the headpiece will stretch slightly when the earmuff is tied under the chin.) Slip stitch the strap to the opposite earmuff. Fasten off and weave in the ends.
Bottom Straps
Take an earpiece and slip stitch 6 times with worsted weight yarn directly opposite from the headpiece.
Row 1: ch1, sc across
Row 2: ch2 (counts as a st), *skip a st and dc in the next st, dc into the skipped st; repeat from * one more time, dc in the last st (6)
Repeat rows 1 and 2 to desired length.
Repeat this on the opposite side. Crochet straps long enough to tie a ribbon under the chin.
*MOTIF (Make 2)
With your 6.0mm hook and worsted weight yarn, make a magic circle and chain 3 (counts as a double crochet and a chain 1).
Round 1: *dc, ch1; repeat for a total of 10 times, slst into the 2nd ch of the beginning ch3 (11dc, 11 chsps)
Round 2: slst into the first chsp, ch5 (counts as a dc and ch2), *dc in the next chsp, ch2; repeat from * to
the end of the round; slst into the 3rd ch of the beginning ch5
Round 3: ch3, *puff st in the next ch2 sp, ch3, slst in the next dc**, ch3; repeat from * to the end ending repeat at **
Fasten off and cut off a 40 inch tail for sewing.
Take the motifs and sew them onto the earpieces following the outline of the motif. Don’t be afraid of the opposite side. The faux yarn can be fluffed to cover the worsted weight yarn.
