Universal Love of Brioche is a fluffy and warm brioche wrap suited for both women and men. The DK weight version has a smaller depth, than the fingering weight version, given a shape that might be considered more masculine.
The pattern is written for one color brioche technique. While monochromatic yarn gives a minimalist look, a gradient or a speckled yarn may turn the project into a colorful, happy and cozy accessory for extra warmth in colder days.
