Maybe you’ve done one or two simple brioche projects, enough to know you like knitting brioche. What’s next? Take this class to expand your options: See what’s involved in knitting two-color brioche flat. (Hint: it’s a four-row pattern!) Add patterning via increases and decreases. Try a super-slick I-cord selvedge. You’ll practice by knitting a small sample in class, but take away the skills needed to complete a lovely patterned scarf.
This class was formerly known as Beginning Brioche. To ensure student success, it’s no longer recommended as an entry-level class. Instead, consider Brioche Wristers or Patterned Brioche.
- Duration:
- 3 hours
- Skills required:
- experience working brioche rib; ability to work ssk and sl1-k2tog-psso decreases
- Materials:
- smooth, plain, worsted-weight yarn in two solid colors; one circular needle or a pair of dpns (not straights), size US 6 (4mm); crochet hook, roughly size US G/6 (4 mm)
- Homework:
- Using one solid-color yarn, cast on 14 sts loosely. Continuing with the same color, work in basic one-color brioche rib as follows: *brSl (that is: bring yarn to front, slip 1 st purlwise, and bring yarn over right needle to back, creating two loops that count as one stitch), k1, repeat from * across row; turn. Repeat that same row, remembering to work the two loops of each brSl together, until your swatch is 1" tall and you can see the brioche rib pattern.
