Two-colour brioche is a marvellous technique. It creates a lovely, squishy texture that is really comforable to wear. Plus, it can be used to create quite intricate geometric patterns.
For this cowl a criss-cross pattern is used, a stitch that combines an increase and a decrease. Since it is brioche, both sides will look nice.
The whole piece is knitted flat and the end product will look seamless. This means that it starts with a provisional cast-on and is finished by grafting in two-colour brioche.

To knit this cowl (in double length, i.e. to fit twice around your neck) you will need the following materials
- a total of 180 grams (about 730 metres) of fingering weight yarn – in two colours, i.e. 90 grams of each color; I used Malabrigo sock yarn (merino)
- 3.5 mm knitting needles – circulars or other needles with two points
- a cable needle
- crochet hook and scrap yarn
- a tapestry needle for grafting and weaving in ends
