I love a boxy sweater so this split hem brioche pull over is perfect for me. It’s knit flat, side to side in 2 color brioche and garter stitch using a combination of DK and Worsted weight yarn. The sleeves are picked up and knit in the round once the body is completed. A simple but timeless classic that looks great layered with all kinds of outfits.
