This is a great introduction to brioche knitting and includes 2 different projects!
Class participants will first learn the beginning basics of brioche knitting while make a cute twisted headband (knit flat).
The second project is Harlow, a two-color brioche hat designed by Andrea Mowry (knit in the round). The hat will build on the skills learned with the headband, introducing brioche knitting with two colors in the round and how to execute decreases while knitting in brioche.
Students will learn:
- one and two colored brioche stitch
- brioche knitting both flat and in the round
- decreasing while stitching in brioche
- all the interesting abbreviations involved when knitting a brioche pattern!
