Broadleaf Mini is the cutest addition to any little one’s wardrobe! Knit with joyful indie-dyed sock yarn, this eye-catching brioche motif sweater will have your little darling picking out their favorite colors for a special school outfit. The best part? No mohair, so it’s super comfy for kids!

The pattern is easy to follow, knit flat in two pieces and seamed using a mattress stitch along the sides and shoulders. Stitches are then picked up for the sleeves and knit in the round. With its comfy drape, dropped sleeves, and boatneck, Broadleaf is both cozy and easy to wear. And you can even customize your sweater by seaming the front panel with the wrong side facing out for a fun twist!

The depth of texture and stunning color effects made possible through brioche makes Broadleaf an addictive and exciting knit. Our samples feature brilliantly colored indie-dyed sock yarn for the foreground of the brioche, choose an accent color for the background of the brioche in a single strand of sock yarn to accentuate the organic motif of Broadleaf.

This pattern includes several video tutorials to help guide you through the brioche stitch and any tricky spots, making it the perfect project for both seasoned and beginner knitters alike.
