“Kibou” means HOPE in Japanese.

This one-colour Brioche pattern is simple with NO Brioche purl stitch, and is fun for practice anytime, anywhere. Kibou feels like a cup of tea when you are tired of knitting thousands of purl/brp stitches.

Plain color yarns are good for this pattern, while gradient or self-stripping yarns add a bunch of colors to you projects.
