Coming soon: a bit of brioche

Aspen leaves on a brioche cowl

I just finished knitting the second iteration of this piece, a bit smaller than the one shown. It’s a cowl that looks like a triangular shawl. This is one of my favorite shapes, because it’s so easy to wear. No danger of falling off!

Swatching with a Dutch 75 on our Alaska cruise last month

The cowl features syncopated brioche rib, and an aspen leaf motif that climbs along the edge. It takes two skeins of fingering weight yarn in contrasting colors. I knit both sizes with my two skeins of Manos del Uruguay Alegria.

I’m looking for a few brioche-loving test knitters. Is that you? Let me know!

  1. Hi Michele, I’d love to be a test knitter for you, for brioche. I did your subscription shawl a while back, and have done a few smaller projects in brioche as well.

  2. Oh Michele, I miss brioche SO MUCH ! I love this shape. I love everything about your design.
    My damned arthritic fingers don’t love nuthin !! 😦

  3. I’d like to be a test knitter if you still need someone.

    I love brioche! If you need another test knitter, I’d love to knit the Leafy Origami Cowl. I can start knitting today.
