High Contrast

high contrast
A striking black-and-white color scheme, deeply textured stitch pattern, and a simple, but bold shape are the height of fashion.
BRIOCHE STITCH PONCHO
The brioche ribbing in this design hugs the body to keep out the chill. Simple or minimal designs like this are good candidates for highly textured and dramatically colored yarns. Knitting it in classic black and white keeps it elegant.
