Construction Notes

This double wrap brioche cowl is knit in the round and finished with a two-color applied I-Cord edging. The combination of three luxurious yarns will create your new go-to winter accessory! The cowl is knit with Yarn A, a fingering weight yarn and lace weight Mohair held together to achieve a DK weight gauge, and Yarn B, a DK weight to make a beautiful and fabric that has the squish factor of brioche and the added insulation of mohair; whose fibers fill in any gaps that wind could possible get through. Once you feel this cowl wrapped around your neck, you’ll never want to take it off!
