This slouchy cowl, with a floral motif, is named for a family member’s beautiful small dairy farm, where in addition to their many other products, they grow the loveliest flowers for events and for farmer’s markets. I love brioche so much, because it creates this lovely squishy fabric, and the yarn from Fuzzy What Knots is the PERFECT brioche yarn, because it is incredibly soft and squishy itself. The pattern includes some instructions on how to do the decreases, and on this page if you scroll down you will find links to how-to videos just in case!

Note that the gauge measurements listed are unblocked. Ultimately, since it’s two-color brioche, you can leave unblocked or just block the front panel for a closer fit, or block the whole thing for more slouch.

This was designed in FuzzyWhatKnots fuzzy worsted in Mauve on the Rocks and Silvery. Additionally, you can find Winter Hill Cowl kits here: https://www.fuzzywhatknots.com/product-category/kits/
