This reversible, irresistibly cozy sweater is worked in a seamless dolman-style oversized fit at a cropped length. Two-color brioche lets you choose high contrasting colors for a totally different look when you wear it on each side, or use low contrasting options (shown) for a more tonal effect. Either way, this comfy staple is sure to be your go-to layering piece. Worked from the top-down, you can easily add length to the body or sleeves once you see how fabulously it fits you. Choose more or less ease based on your personal preference; the sizing in this design is incredibly flexible.

While it is easy to modify the length of this sweater as you go, DID YOU HEAR? Crops are for everyone! Check out this video for some styling ideas of how you can crop. Schematic is include in the photos so keep swiping to check out the fit. View my test knitters here. ✅
