Brightly variegated yarn fizzes and pops against a dark background in pure brioche magic. The gorgeous yarn does most of the work in this generous wrap, with extra movement coming from a large cable that crosses the width of the piece, and a colour-flipped diamond at the centre. It’s simple – but simply irresistible.
Special features to boost your skill set include a disappearing loop cast-on (video tutorial provided) and the deceptively easy brioche colour flipping technique.
N.B: The “colour flipped” central diamond is optional, and instructions are provided for those who prefer to leave this out.

GAUGE
