Echoes of wintery days filled with warm hot chocolate linger in the soft lines of this draped, shawl-like cardigan. Inspired by a brioche pattern, this wrapper seamlessly blends memories of home comforts with an air of simple elegance.

Brioche Wrapper is worked in three pieces. The fronts and shawl collar are worked at the same time before seaming into a long rectangular shape. The back is worked from the bottom up, back and forth.

Note: The Brioche Wrapper can be worn with the band at the top as a collar or at the bottom as a hem.
