Workshop Overview

This is a two day, 10 hour workshop in brioche knitting. The first morning introduces the very simplest one color brioche rib knitting with a scark knit with super bulky weight yarn. In the afternoon you’ll learn two color brioche rib in the round, with pointers on how to fix mistakes. On the second morning, we move on to increases and decreases in brioche knitting; these create the beautiful whale tail and gull patterning on your hat or cowl. In the afternoon we’ll have time for open knitting and as needed discussions on mistakes and moving forward.
