Squishy, thick, and oh-so comfy, honeycomb brioche is the epitome of cozy wear. Whether you knit it long enough to double loop, or short and cozy in a single loop, two strands of our Mohair Silk DK will make this lush cowl your go-to for cold weather wear.

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS
10 ¾“ / 27.5 cm x 25” / 63.5 cm (before grafting), or length desired

NEEDLES & NOTIONS
Size 10 U.S. / 6 mm straight or circular needles
Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.
Approx 1 yard of smooth contrasting scrap yarn for provisional cast-on, yarn needle

GAUGE
13 sts and 26 rows = 4” / 10 cm in Honeycomb Brioche stitch, with yarn held double
Note: Honeycomb Brioche gauge can be quite hard to assess due to the stitches being tricky to read. Gauge is not crucial for this project but is provided to help you anticipate yarn usage.

PATTERN NOTES
This cowl begins with a provisional cast-on. It is knit flat, with yarn held double, and grafted together to form a loop. Because of this, the cowl can be knit to length desired and fitted to the wearer’s comfort.
