TEMPESTAS
The Tempestry Project gather temperature data and create fabulous weaving and knit/crochet pieces of work to show how the planet's temperature is on the up. They have exhibited in multiple museums across the U.S. to show their Climate Change temperature tapestries, or Tempestries.
 
I wanted to create a fun quick knitting pattern that depicted these Tempestries on a smaller scale and the result is Tempestas.

Tempestas is a fast top-down two colour brioche cowl project, that I hope will bring some climate thinking and new brioche skills into your knitting world. There are several colour palettes (kits) to choose from the 100% U.S. sourced merino, milled & dyed in Pennsylvania exclusively for The Tempestry Project.

CONSTRUCTION NOTES:
Tempestas is worked in one piece, from the top down. Hidden increases in the garter sections allow for the shaping without using Brioche sts for the increases. The final section welcomes you into the brioche world of increases and decreases.
Full video instruction for two colour brioche, fixing brioche errors (links under Techniques on page 3) and each of the brioche increase, and decreases stitches is included in this pattern (links under Brioche Abbreviations on page 3).
The final brioche section is charted on page 6.
Finally, the cowl is finished with an elastic bind off.
