Beginning Brioche
Craft: Knitting
Level: Advanced beginner

Prerequisites: Basic knitting skills.

Description: Become a fan of brioche family of stitches. This intriguing and unique
knitting technique produces irresistible, soft, 3-dimentional and reversible fabric. In this
class, you will learn basic brioche both in one and two colors. You will have a bonus
material to take home for a chance to try some other simple brioche stitches. Among the
topics covered in this class are: selvage edges, special tips on cast on and bind off, best
yarns to use, reading a chart and instructions for brioche. Samples will demonstrate
how to use it all for hats, cowls, scarves, and more.

Supplies: 2 skeins of worsted weight, solid-colored yarn: one in color A and another
one in color B; circular needles used for homework US 8 (5.00 mm) or US 7 (4.50 mm),
24 inch (60 cm).
(Third needle or stitch holder, if you are making the extra cast on.)

Homework:
1. Practice the long-tail cast-on.
2. With one circular needle and color A, CO 20 sts and leave them on needle.
3. Repeat instructions in #2 with color B and another needle. We will use both cast-ons
in class.

Suggestion: In case you will need to start the swatch over, prepare another cast-on with
the third needle (you can place sts on a holder, if you do not have an extra needle).
