Brioche Knitting

• Cost: $70 for 2 hours
• Teacher: Kate

Brioche knitting uses a simple and clever technique to create beautiful fabrics – deep ribs and fascinating colourwork. It’s particularly effectively in two colours, and is an excellent way to tame a busy variegated yarn. This class covers the skills for working brioche patterns, including reading the sometimes-complicated instructions, and fixing mistakes. Knitters will leave with a one-of-a-kind shawl or scarf project well underway.

• Skill Level: Intermediate: no specific skills required, but knitters must be confident with increasing and decreasing
• Materials Required: A 16-20″ (40-50cm) circular 4mm/US #6 needle and 2 strongly contrasting colours of scrap worsted weight yarn; 250-300 yards of each: recommend one variegated, one solid colour. Newer knitters should bring DK or worsted; more experienced knitters can bring fingering or sport but if you do so, please adjust your needle size accordingly.
