Aren’t rainy days the perfect excuse to stay home and do a little knitting? This relaxing project features bands of brioche that alternate with garter stitch ridges to keep the knitting interesting. Regular increases in the center of the round create a comfortable bandana shape. The top can be folded down inside for structure and a cozy double layer of fluffy brioche. The cowl is completely reversible (both sides are shown in the photos), so you get two looks in one entertaining knit. The brioche in this pattern has a simple two-round repeat, and the two colors make it easy to read your knitting. If you are new to brioche, this is a great opportunity to give it a try. **Yarn** Miss Babs Killington 85% Polwarth Wool, 15% Tussah Silk; 350 yd/4.2 oz (320 m/120 g) skeins, 1 skein in main color, shown in Cordovan, and 1 skein in contrasting color, shown in Deep Sea Jellyfish or approximately 260 yards/238 meters of DK weight yarn in main color and 110 yards/101 meters in contrasting color. **Finished Measurements** Circumference at top edge: 20”/50 cm Circumference at bottom edge: 36”/90 cm Height in front: 18½”/46.5 cm Height in back: 13”/32.5 cm **Needles** US 8/5 mm circular needle, 24”/60 cm long, or size to obtain gauge US 8/5 mm double-pointed needles or preferred method for knitting small circumferences in the round, or size to obtain gauge **Gauge** Blocked: 15 stitches and 36 rounds = 4”/10 cm square in garter stitch.
