The Kinloch Cowl is inspired by the transcendental landscape of Glenorchy, New Zealand. It’s a great project for perfecting your brioche stitch skills. You will be knitting two-colour brioche flat, and in the round; allowing the alternation of main colours create stripes throughout the cowl.

The Kinloch Cowl is knitted seamlessly, in one piece. The two split ends are of different lengths, and can be worn either way (just make sure that the right side of the stockinette edge is facing out).
