The Crema Cowl is a sweet and simple introduction to the art of syncopated brioche rib. Using a gradient or ombre yarn for one of the two colors will make the syncopated stripes even more interesting.

The pattern is adjustable for both circumference and height. You’ll need two skeins of yarn, one each of a light color and dark color.

The Crema Cowl is a design in my book Brioche Knit Love, 21 Skill Building Projects from Simple to Sublime, publication date October 19, 2021.
