Knitted brioche is everywhere right now, and it is easy to see why. The fabric it creates is squishy and dense, and it is a great way to play with contrasting colors. The crochet version of brioche is even more delightfully cozy and warm, and works up in next to no time compared to knitted brioche. Radicowl was inspired by the Newsprint Cowl, by Haven Leavitt. Try one of each and then try to decide which you love more. Good luck with that!
