Basic brioche stitches circle around to create a striking cowl.
Worked in the round, a clever technique makes every round a knitwise round.
Add a twist in the cast-on for an infinity cowl that, when wrapped double, untwists to lie smooth showing only the right side of the fabric.
You will love knitting this cushy cowl!
