Rainbow Road Cowl
This is a brioche cowl pattern with a twist - the pattern is entirely randomised by dice rolls and so every cowl will be unique. It is the first of the Pathways collection of randomised brioche knits.
I’ve named it the Rainbow Road Cowl in honour of that childhood Mariokart track - it is a whirl of colour and the random cubes decide your fate!
It is a simple brioche knit which might suit a beginner - consisting of a four row repeat using two colours, with a dice roll to decide the pattern stitches. The result is a relatively mindless knit that still provides an organic and unique design, that hopefully will not require many references to the pattern.
My final product was roughly 36 cm long and 24 cm wide, but the length is absolutely customisable. Just vary the stripe lengths! Since it is a brioche knit, it is super comfy and squishy. It will stretch and drape well to fit anybody.
I’ve included two sets of instructions. One set of instructions are detailed and outlines stitch by stitch, the other set of instructions gives an overview for knitters like me who are impatient and lose track of where I am in a pattern easily.
Also included is an explanation of the basic principle - it should equip you with the understanding of how the pattern works and thus how you can customise the width or pattern!
If you’re a D&D player or just like nice dice like me, now is the time to pull them out and roll it without having to wait for the next session!
The sample knit is done in Little Bird Makes Yak/Silk DK, Wear it Proud mini skein set.
