Along with two-color rib, brioche can also be worked in two-color stockinette stitch by replacing brp stitches with brk stitches. The resulting fabric is thinner yet still stretchy and double-layered, making it perfect for warm winter garments. These mittens and hats use simple shaping to slant the fabric’s vertical stripes and create the mitten and hat tops.
