Sanna & Co. Knitting Pattern - Overlay Sweater & Vest

Relaxed fit, squishy fabric and an interesting play with colour and texture, what more could you want from a brioche knit!

The name overlay refers to the 2 layers of colour and pattern, overlaid on top of each other. By creating colour changes to each layer individually, you get an interesting interplay of colour and texture.
