I wanted to try this pattern because I really love cowls, and I was intrigued by a project so versatile that it requires a video to tell you how many ways you can wear it. ;-)

I used medium gray yarn left over from the Ruana Manshawl along with some lighter gray that I’d purchased for…fingerless gloves?

It took me a while to figure out how to knit brioche, but after I did, it was a lot of fun. I was surprised how little yarn it actually requires. (Guess I’m used to looooong cowls.)
I made a second one for my friend.

The metal buttons were found at a local fabric store, $.05 each or $7-something a pound. I love the buttons as much as I love the Metamorph.
(It’ll look fabulous with a gray sweatshirt, of which I have several.)
