The Split Hem Pullover is a modern wardrobe staple with clean lines and subtle design details. Worked from the bottom up in separate pieces, the garment features a relaxed silhouette balanced by thoughtful shaping and a structured finish.

A defining element of the design is the hi-lo hem, with the back falling longer than the front and side seams left partially open to create an easy split hem. Simple ribbing at the hems, cuffs, and neckline frames the smooth stockinette body, while gentle increases and decreases refine the fit without interrupting the overall simplicity.

Finished with set-in sleeves, a ribbed neckband, and classic mattress-stitch seaming, this pullover is versatile, comfortable, and timeless—ideal for everyday wear and perfect for knitters looking to create a polished garment from straightforward techniques.
