Become a confident brioche knitter!
Brioche is a knitting technique that creates a squishy, completely reversible fabric. It offers so many options for texture and color play, but has such a reputation for being "hard" that many knitters are too intimidated to try it!
In this class we will learn the basics of one and two color brioche, then take our skills up a notch with two patterns: the Vintage Prim hat by Andrea Mowry and the Broadleaf sweater by Wool & Pine Designs. We will cover a full compliment of brioche techniques as well as a variety of tips & tricks to take this stitch from intimidating to a new found favorite!
