ABOUT THIS PATTERN
This pattern was written to help you get started with brioche knitting. It is a fun, enjoyable knit that will help you dial in the rhythm of brioche knitting through two color work in the round, which is (surprisingly) a pretty easy way to learn brioche! This cowl is knit in the round and is reversible. On one side, the Main Color will be dominant. On the other side, the Contrast Color will be dominant.
For the sample we used a hand spun worsted weight yarn. You can use hand dyed, commercially dyed, or other worsted weight yarn! Give it a shot!
