Gina’s Brioche Cowl

You asked for it and we’re delivering! Gina’s Brioche Cowl is the perfect intro to a two-color brioche project. This wildly popular pattern will teach you this simple multicolor technique that creates a beautiful fabric mirrored on each side - the color play of fair isle or intarsia without the bother of tangled balls of yarn and pesky tails. And better still, brioche fabric is truly as squishy and luxurious as its namesake, the light and buttery brioche bun, making it just right for cozy cold weather accessories. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING THE BRIOCHE TECHNIQUE CLASS PRIOR TO THIS COWL CLASS. This 2-session class will be taught by Yarnista & Owner Susan Dickerson and will be held:

• 1 to 3 pm Tuesdays, April 10 & 24
