Gina's Brioche Cowl in Cashmere!

We love Gina's original Brioche Cowl in merino and suri but had a hankering to try this gorgeous knit in something even more spectacular. Enter Jade Sapphire's unparalleled 100% Mongolian Cashmere. Hand dyed in a beautiful rainbow of colors, from cool Silver Pearl to this shocking Pink Panther, Jade Sapphire's cashmere is as soft as a nebulous cloud and as cozy as a hug. This version of the Brioche Cowl packs a hot pink punch and will take you through the brisk evenings of spring in toasty comfort and beautiful style!

New to Brioche? Check out our tutorial! It is a magical stitch, lofty as can be, with all the fun color-play of Fair Isle or Intargia, but with much less fuss! To see Gina's original Brioche Cowl (still as gorgeous as ever!) and to read the full pattern, click here. Also, while you're at it, be sure to check out Gina's super cute Brioche Hat.

Oooh, how delightful. I haven't got the hang of brioche but you're tempting me to give it another go.

Was totally lured into the brioche stitch with this project. I'm now 2 inches into this cowl. Lovely!
