Brave Brioche

Description

Jump feet first into brioche! In this workshop, Pru Raymond will support you to develop a deep understanding of brioche fabric and skills, by firstly working two colour basic brioche in rows, and then exploring one colour brioche in rows, and one and two colour brioche in the round, using both written and charted instructions. This is a shape-free class, ie. no increasing or decreasing.

Materials required

• Needles: 4.5 mm circular knitting needle with 80cm circumference or DPNs
• Yarn: 2 x 50g balls/ cakes of 8ply/DK yarn in solid/ semi solid colours with a high contrast (ie. one white/ very light coloured yarn and one or mid - dark coloured yarn)

Skill level: 

This class is designed for knitters, novice level and above. This class is not suitable for beginners. As some of the swatches are worked in the round, it is beneficial to know Magic Loop technique, but it isn’t a prerequisite.
