Fall is coming and what better way to prepare than to wrap yourself in a cozy brioche wrap. This asymmetrical wrap or poncho is knitted using the brioche technique. The wrap is worked in one large rectangle, folded in half lengthwise, then seamed part way along the side. The pattern along the top of the wrap is half of the pattern along the bottom of the piece, but is reversed at the half way point, so that when the piece is seamed the patterns along the top and bottom match.

Although gauge information is given the piece does not require strict adhesion to it. It is more important that you like the fabric than be exact on the gauge.

Although the pattern is written for one size, it can easily be adjusted to be longer, wider, or smaller. The pattern includes information on how to adjust the size.

I fell in love with the colors of this Farmers Daughter’s Foxy Lady (Meet Me Tonight in Atlantic City and Namoo), but any fingering weight yarn will do. I used about 1 1/2 skeins of each of the two colors. Enough left over to make a hat. You will want 2 colors with a fairly strong contrast to show off the beautiful patterns.
