Named for one of my favorite California beach towns, Pacifica is a swoopy two-color brioche cowl whose curved lines form ripples and waves that bring me right back to my favorite ocean overlook.
Pacifica is knit sideways then grafted together for a seamless finish. The pattern includes written and photo tutorials for the brioche provisional cast-on, and for seamlessly grafting live two-color brioche stitches together. The pattern also includes both written and charted instructions for knitting the cowl.
