I’m a big fan of boxy sweaters and brioche so this was a perfect pull over for me. It’s knit flat, side to side in a combination of 2 color brioche and garter stitch in DK weight yarn with a split hem. The sleeves are picked up and knit in the round once the body is completed, there are also options to customize your length if a cropped sweater isn’t your thing. I used Marla and Sami from Manos Del Uruguay which are DK weight yarns.
