I love brioche. I could honestly sit and squish the fabric for hours. It can seem like an intimidating stitch to someone who has never worked brioche before, but once you’ve got the hang of it, it becomes second nature. HAPPENSTANCE provides those knitters that are new to brioche with the opportunity to learn the basics of two-colour brioche knitting, circular brioche knitting, and simple brioche increases and decreases. The finished piece is functional and warm, with enough tiny detail to provide a beautiful point of difference. Worked up in delicious alpaca, this cowl will be your new go-to accessory for the colder months.

HAPPENSTANCE requires 2 100g skeins of One Tree Hill 100% alpaca. I chose a speckled colourway on a light background for my MAIN COLOUR, and a bright, semi solid colourway for my CONTRAST COLOUR.

This is an advanced beginner pattern. Some knowledge of brioche knitting will be helpful, but it is not required.
