My two recent passions in knitting are brioche and the moebius. I decided to combine the two for a series of patterns that are unique in form, and fun to knit. The Cascades Hat and Cowl patterns are perfect for those new to brioche. They are simple and fast projects, and look great on both men and women. I named them after the Cascades Mountains because our family enjoys vacationing there, and cozy accessories are always needed on those trips.

The hat calls for 90-210 total yards depending on size.
The cowl calls for 310 total yards.

I was able to make both projects using 2 skeins of Manos del Uruguay Maxima and 1 skein of Malabrigo Worsted.
