Aren’t rainy days the perfect excuse to stay home and do a little knitting?

This relaxing project features bands of brioche that alternate with garter stitch ridges to keep the knitting interesting. Regular increases in the center of the round create a comfortable bandana shape. The top can be folded down inside for structure and a cozy double layer of fluffy brioche. The cowl is completely reversible (both sides are shown in the photos), so you get two looks in one entertaining knit.

The brioche in this pattern has a simple two-round repeat, and the two colors make it easy to read your knitting. If you are new to brioche, this is a great opportunity to give it a try.
