Tones Brioche Cowl presents an opportunity to explore basic brioche technique. Knit in 1 x 1 brioche rib, once you get the hang of it, it will be a breeze to knit!

We used Brooklyn Tweed Tones and played with their Undertone and Overtone in the same colourway for a subtle look, but the options are endless! This cowl was also designed to use one full skein of two colours- simply bind off when you near the end of your skeins!
