US 6 for CO and knit plain for 4 rounds
CO 86 sts
switched to US5 for brioche
two-color brioche for _____ inches
four rounds of plain st st in variegated yarn (resolving brioche stitch), then stretchy BO using this tutorial

Originally planned to use the yellow as a CC, but the contrast was too “sharp” for my taste. Switched to the grey as a more subtle CC.

Knit to a total length of 8” (including rolled st st edge — 4 rows of st st). Width measuring 9” prior to blocking.
