The Plumped Up Cowl by Andrea Mowry is a great beginner project for brioche newbies! This fun (and addicting) stitch will open up a whole new world to your knitting life! Feeling a little intimidated?? Don’t worry - there is a wealth of resources out there! Especially the brioche queen herself - Nancy Marchant whose website is also a great resource.
The squish factor on this knit just can’t be beat!
Required experience: Beginner. Students must know how to knit and purl.
