Midwest mornings are still a little chilly... It`s the perfect weather for a light cowl! Cubes and Hues knitted in @gustowool`s Echoes is a soft and beautiful springtime accessory. This pattern uses brioche knitting, but a similar effect could easily be made with simple knits and purls.
Echoes comes in two identical mini-skeins with exciting gradients dyed on a fingering weight merino and nylon blend. This beautiful yarn is hand-dyed in Turkey.
