This is a PDF knitting pattern.
Gather a colorful pile of worsted and heavy worsted weight yarns for this two-color brioche jacket. This convertible garment is constructed in two halves that are sewn together at the back. The sideways construction allows you to try on the garment while you knit in the round until it matches your proportions, so it is easy to modify for all sizes. The final border is worked back and forth with long tails that can be tied together or left hanging. The overall construction is deceptively simple, with only one seam and two increase locations throughout the entire project.
