Two colour brioche has been taking the knitting world by storm recently, and designer Dario Tubiana has been exploring the possibilities of this style. His indulgently cosy, squishy wrap has multiple panels worked in different colour combinations. Many of these panels include sections of ‘syncopated’ stitches, which give an intriguing colour effect. Dario has used 10 shades of Rowan’s Felted Tweed yarn
