Training Wheels

Training Wheels is a simple but warm and squishy cowl. It is made entirely in two-color brioche stitch, so it is great for brioche beginners who want to practice, practice, practice their new skills. Because of the brioche, the cowl is reversible, where each side is the opposite of the other. Pick two colors that you love and wear it both ways! This cowl is knit from the bottom up. **Finished Measurements** Height: 12" / 38cm Circumference: 23" / 58cm **Materials** *Yarn*: two skeins, in contrasting colors, of one of the following worsted-weight yarns * Shepherd’s Wool Worsted (Stonehedge Fiber Mill, 100% merino, 250 yards/229 meters) * Vintage (Berroco, 52% acrylic, 40% wool, 8% nylon, 217 yards/198 meters) * Rios (Malabrigo, 100% superwash merino, 210 yards/192 meters) The purple sample uses Shepherd's Wool in colorways Plum and Lilac, and the green sample uses Berroco Vintage in colorways Mistletoe and Smoke. *Needles*: 16” circular needles in size US 8 / 5 mm and US 10 / 6 mm, or size needed to obtain gauge *Notions*: Stitch marker, tapestry needle for weaving in ends
