This infinity cowl features alternating bands of brioche and textured vines, creating a fabric that is delightfully squishy — and reversible, too. (The wrong side is shown in the second photo.) If you’ve been thinking about giving brioche a try, this is an great way to do it: the brioche sections are short, with a simple two-row repeat, and the two colors make it easy to read your knitting. The rest of the cowl is worked in beginner-friendly knits and purls. Plus, the cowl begins and ends in garter stitch for a simple cast on and bind off. The variety of stitches keeps the knitting interesting, making for a fun knit.
