Brioche Blanket

Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to wrap yourself up in a marshmallow? That’s what our Brioche Blanket accomplishes — it’s soft, plush, and incredibly cozy. Knitted up in super-bulky Merino No. 5 yarn, this beautiful throw is available in 5 different sizes (XS-XL).

Brioche knitting not only adds tons of texture to any project, but it also creates a dimensional (and reversible!) colorwork pattern when worked with two different hues. With 25 gorgeous shades of Merino No. 5 to choose from and a resulting fabric as springy and warm as a brioche bun fresh out of the oven, we think you’ll want to revisit this project more than once!
