Wanting to give Brioche Knitting a chance? This quick project teaches you the basics of 1x1 Brioche Ribbing while keeping things interesting by incorporating some easy color striping techniques.

Brioche Rib is a fun technique that creates a super squishy fabric that is great for items that you want to snuggle into. This cowl uses a yarn with a long color repeat (MC) and a neutral heathered yarn (CC), but you can use yarns with more of a stark contrast for a bright pop or use more subdued colors for a subtle color shift effect. You can even add in more than just two colors if you’re feeling ambitious, just pick a new MC and CC for each repeat of the main pattern.

You can easily make the full cowl with only 1/2 a ball of each yarn recommended.
