This pretty cowl is fun to knit and quick to make! It’s knit in the round, which is easy to do in brioche.

As its name implies, it’s a good beginner’s cowl. This pattern doesn’t have photo tutorials like my Brioche 101 scarf, but if you’ve knit a few other projects (of any type), you should be fine.

As I did with the Brioche 101 scarf, I added some garter-stitch “lifeline” rounds. If the brioche goes awry for some reason, you simply take it back to the garter stitch. I love the feeling of security.
