CONSTRUCTION
This brioche cowl is worked seamlessly from the bottom up. It begins with a Tubular Cast-On using one strand of worsted-weight (yarn A) and one strand of lace-weight (yarn C) held together. Brioche stitch is worked in the round before knitting short rows to angle the top. Yarn A is then dropped and 3 rounds are worked using the silk mohair (yarn B) only. This creates a sheer panel and natural fold line for the cowl. Then, yarn C is picked up and the turnback is worked in brioche, again with short rows. The top edge is finished with an i-cord bind-off.
