Select two colours of DK weight yarn to knit this beautiful brioche blanket. Exaggerated increases along with sloping decreases shape the wavy Flying Foxtail motif. This elegant rectangular blanket is completely reversible thanks to the squishy two-colour brioche technique. Choose between a small baby blanket size, a medium lap blanket, or large blanket for your bed. I used West Wool Tandem, a super soft non-superwash merino wool that makes the plush brioche ribbing pop. Enjoy knitting this gorgeous blanket that will last for years to come.All rights reserved.

Notions2 stitch markers, tapestry needle Gauge14 sts & 20 rows = 4″/ 10cm in two-colour brioche after blocking Pattern NotesIn two-colour brioche stitch, two rows are worked for each counted row that appears on the face of the fabric. The first colour is worked across the row and then the row is worked again using the second colour. The next row is worked the same way, once across with the first colour and worked again with the second colour. When counting rows, count only the stitches going up on a knit column. For example, when you work 4 rows, count 4 knit column stitches, even though you will have worked 8 rows back and forth. 2 worked rows = 1 counted row. When you put down your knitting and forget which colour you just used and which colour to use next, look at the colour of the yo in the row just worked. That is the last colour you used. This blanket is written using a main colour (MC) and contrast colour (CC) in the instructions. The RS features the MC as the foreground colour and the WS features the CC as the background colour.
