Working in the round, this pair of hand warmers takes the knitter on a little Brioche journey from the plain, one colour stitch, through the reversible two colour to the mixed textured stitch in the middle. The mix of tweed yarn and alpaca create a very tactile finish and gives a warm fabric, perfect for the cold days of Winter. I love the bright pink with the grey tweed tones - warm and cosy in colour and texture. This is a perfect pattern for those who are comfortable working in the round but want to explore further brioche stitches.
