With a recent restock of Spincycle, we are excited to share two patterns that pair perfectly with their scrumptiously squishy Spincycle Plump by Andrea Mowry. The Plumped Up Hat and Cowl are the chunky upgrades we needed to show off the buoyant brioche stitch – these projects are the quick fix we need for post-holiday season downtime. The two-color brioche featured in both the hat and cowl creates a layered fabric that is perfect for showing off the subtle color shifts in Spincycle Plump. The textured stitch creates a supple, soft, and squishable fabric that is a delight to wear. Make the hat, make the cowl, or indulge in both for a cozy mid-winter set. If you want to incorporate a solid color, we love Manos Del Uruguay Cardo!
