Brioche knitting is a beautiful family of knitting patterns that are worked with tucked stitches. The Brioche stitch creates a lofty, stretchy fabric, that looks great on each side. This knitting technique creates stunningly beautiful flowing patterns. Although it can seem intimidating at first, it is deceptively simple to work. As Barbara G. Walker writes in her book “Treasury of Knitting Patterns,” “The elements of all such patterns are (1) a slipped stitch, and (2) a yarn-over; these are knitted together on the return row.”  That’s it!

Although perfect for new Brioche knitter, this class has plenty to offer the more advanced knitter as well. It’s the Brioche class you can grow with!

The class will grow your skills from the very foundations as you work through a sample swatch and 4 Brioche Building Block patterns. There are plenty of extra credit, alternatives in there to keep the advanced knitters on their toes as well. We will learn Brioche in both western and combination knitting, and even how to work Brioche backwards!

It’s a FULL video class for knitters of all levels. What you get:

• Hours of video tutorials that can be streamed or downloaded. - Downloadable handout pdfs.
• FOUR Brioche projects with full written and charted pattern pdfs. - Discussion boards to ask questions as you go, with tons of interactive help.
• A community group to share your progress with other knitters

Even if you have never knit Brioche, I will guide you every step of the way. By the end of the class you will have learned one color and two color Brioche flat and in the round, increases and decreases and a variety of cast ons and bind offs.

All hosted on my new education platform with downloads, quizzes, discussion threads as well as a community group.

Make sure to join my Ravelry group to share your progress with other knitters. There’s an amazing power when a group of knitters are all working together on the same pattern!
