Dear Friends Cowl

When Liz from Kingdom Fleece and Fiber contacted me to do an advent collaboration using fiber – my first thoughts were “but I don’t spin.” But she was willing to spin up her lovely roving and provide me with a choice of colors that I decided would look just great in a simple brioche stitch. If this is your first-time doing brioche, I think working with two colors makes brioche a bit easier. And I’ve got some very helpful hints to get you through.

Knit one for yourself AND then knit one for a friend!

NOTE: Cowl can be knit using any number of small skeins – feel free to mix and match your stripes to suit your color preferences. Non-superwash wool or handspun is recommended to achieve the textured look of the brioche as pictured. The premise of this cowl is that you would knit one for yourself and then knit one for a friend. The cowl is reversible, and knitters may choose whichever side they prefer for the public side of the work.
