Fuzz. Reverberation. Echo. This big brioche knit wrap goes to 11 with super-fluffy alpaca yarn!

Turn Up the Gain has an allover pattern of sound waves and rippling echoes that starts and ends with a simple two-color brioche rib. Using two different yarns, a smooth fingering weight for the main color and a blown alpaca chainette for the contrast, gives you a super-squishy, ultra-cozy, incredibly soft and warm wrap.

Instructions for the brioche pattern are provided in written directions as well as a choice of two charts: traditional brioche charts on a grid, and Stitch Maps charts, a more visual representation of the knitted fabric.
