Wrap yourself in softness and bold color contrasts with this modern, two-color brioche cowl. Designed to highlight rhythmic texture and graphic vertical columns, the Colorblock Brioche Cowl brings out the best of brioche stitch — squishy, reversible, and endlessly cozy.

Worked in the round from the bottom up, this cowl features clean blocks of color that shift as you change yarns, making it a playful and satisfying knit. Choose vibrant shades for a striking look or go subtle and tonal for effortless everyday wear — either way, the color transitions create a piece that stands out without being complicated.

Perfect for intermediate knitters or adventurous beginners looking to explore brioche in a manageable project. The generous height allows styling options — wrap it close for extra warmth or let it drape for a relaxed, chic look.

Whether you’re knitting a gift or treating yourself, this project promises a beautiful result and a relaxing, meditative knitting experience!
