Nelkin Designs Brioche Shapka PDF

Brioche Shapka from Nelkin Designs is a playful hat contrasting a brioche brim with a stockinette stitch body. Colorwork is achieved by playing with opposing ends of a gradient yarn. This fabulous accessory is knit in the round from the bottom up. Incredible texture or eye-catching color: Why choose when you can have both! Cloudborn Merino Alpaca Sport Color Change is a breathtaking blend of Merino wool and baby alpaca that pairs the softness and dye-saturation of alpaca with the superior stitch definition of wool. The brioche pattern is charted and written out.
