The Brioripple Wrap features wavy bands of two-color brioche and reverse stockinette stripes. The background of each brioche section features two strands of West Wool Glowhair held together in the same color for a soft and fluffy effect. The foreground brioche colors and reverse stockinette stitch stripes are knitted with one strand of fingering weight wool. This project is a great stashbuster to use leftover fingering weight yarns or mini skeins.
Feel free to customize your brioche color combinations however you like as you create a uniquely striped fabric. The size of this wrap is easy to customize. Simply bind off early after any brioche section for a shorter length or continue to knit the wavy pattern repeats as recommended for a long dramatic wrap.

Yarn - Fingering weight and lace weight held double

The sample features fingering weight for the MC (main color) foreground brioche sections and the AC (accent color) reverse stockinette stitch stripes. Two strands of the same color of lace weight mohair silk are held together for the CC (contrast color) background brioche sections. You can use fingering weight yarns for all the colors or hold two strands of lace weight mohair silk together for the CC background brioche sections to create a version like the photographed sample.

Yardage - Approximately 3200yds / 2926m total if you are using 2 strands of lace weight mohair silk held together for the CC brioche background stripes

MC (main color) = foreground brioche
CC (contrast color) = background brioche
AC (accent color) = reverse stockinette stitch stripes + I-cord CO & BO

MC - 1000yds / 914m fingering weight
CC - 1800yds / 1646m lace weight mohair silk
AC - 400yds / 366m fingering weight

Each CC stripe (background brioche color) uses about 4g of lace weight mohair holding two strands of the same color together.

Each MC stripe (foreground brioche color) uses about 5g of fingering weight yarn.

Each AC stripe (reverse stockinette stitch) uses about 2g of fingering weight yarn

OR

Approximately 2300yds / 2100m total if you are using fingering weight yarn for all colors including the CC (background brioche color).

MC - 1000yds / 914m fingering weight
CC - 900yds / 823m fingering weight
AC - 400yds / 366m fingering weight
