19. Two-Tone Reversible Brioche Rib Cushion
Two-color brioche knitting creates a dual-sided, ultra-cushioned pillow displaying one dominant color on the front and its inverted twin on the back.
- What This Idea Means: An extra-squishy, double-thick cushion with contrasting vertical rib columns that reverse their color dominance on each side.
- How to Make It: Cast on an odd number of stitches on 4.5mm circular needles using Color A (e.g., Deep Charcoal) and Color B (e.g., Soft Ivory). Work two-color brioche rib: slip stitches with yarnovers and brioche-knit/brioche-purl across alternating passes. The resulting fabric is double-thick, showing black ribs on white background on one side, and white ribs on black on the reverse.
- Tips and Variations: Maintain loose edge stitches to prevent the brioche rib from bunching or pulling in at the borders.
- Materials Needed: 150g worsted yarn in Color A, 150g worsted yarn in Color B, 4.5mm circular needles, 16×16-inch pillow insert.
