This design was featured on the runway at H+H Americas tradeshow in Chicago 2025!

This reversible shoulder cozy is perfect for extra warmth around the house or another layer under a jacket. The smushy brioche stitch is drapey, stretchy and fun to make. Some experience with brioche knitting is suggested.

Choose two high contrast colours for your cozy. Use a mini skein for the neck and hem for a pop of colour. Featuring Keenan Hand Dyed Yarn who creates rich, sweet colours in Michigan.

This cozy is knit from the top-down starting with a simple roll edge. The brioche stitch forms a loose cowl; then, increases spread out from your clavicle to widen the cozy to fit around your shoulders and bust. Four sizes available (see below for more info).
