Two color brioche knit with a twist!! The twist is both literal and figurative, in that you can see each side of the 2 color brioche pattern on the twisted front.

Knit in Hedgehog Fibres Cashmere Merino, this blend is lighter weight per mm/yd than 100% wool fingering weight yarns. This means the typically, heavy brioche stitch is very lofty, and squishy. It seems to float and swirl around the body, and is super soft and comfortable to wear!!

This is a pullover style, but wears like a cardigan. It’s sized in XS/S, M/L, and XL. The generous, draped design is suitable for all figure types and for a wide range of activities. Wear it to yoga class, or to the gym, or to add a layer over a dress or jeans for a cool spring evening out on the town.

XS/S needs 3 skeins of each color A and B
M/L needs 4 skeins of color A and 3 skeins of color B
XL needs 4 skeins of each color A and B

I used Damp for Color A and Typewriter for Color B.

Gauge is as follows:
Size 5/3.75 mm in Brioche stitch
16 sts = 4”
24 rows (48 rows worked) = 4”

Size 3/3.25 mm in 1 x 1 rib
28 sts =4”
36 rows = 4”
