I love playing with Fisherman’s Rib! It is a fun knitting technique that creates a fluffy reversible texture identical to brioche. The stitch is created very differently and, for many, is easier to wrap their head around.

This cowl is knit in the round and feels amazing around your neck. I loved watching the color story unfold and knew it would be a great addition to my grab and go knit pile!

Select your favorite choice of a solid paired with a self-striping yarn and you are ready to rock. If you have struggled with brioche, give this a try! This will open the door a bit slower and expose you to the overlapping similarities found in brioche.
