Knitting pattern for Fleur Brioche Cowl

Here is the Fleur Cowl – a beautiful and functional accessory, perfect for the colder months. Knitted in Önling No 4, our soft and organic merino wool, this cowl provides a wonderfully warm and comfortable fit around the neck.

This cowl is worked in brioche stitch, a technique that creates a light and airy structure while making the knitted fabric thick and insulating, even with finer yarns.

The Fleur Cowl is designed as an approachable project for anyone wanting to explore brioche knitting. You’ll learn how to make both increases and decreases in this design, giving you a solid understanding of the technique and its possibilities.

The Fleur Cowl is a practical alternative to a traditional scarf – it stays in place without needing to be tied and ensures warmth and comfort all day long. Get ready to knit your own Fleur Cowl and enjoy both the design and the technique!

Fleur Cowl is designed for the 4th advent in December, as part of our 2024 advent calendar
