Please note: As of April 1, 2025, this set includes the Adjacent pattern and is currently $13.00. When the second pattern, Approximate, comes out next week, anyone who already has the set will get an update with the new pattern, and the price of the set will go up. When the third pattern, Akin, comes out the week after that, anyone who already has the set will get an update with the new pattern, and the price of the set will go up again. So if you know you want the set, you can get it now at a discount, and you'll automatically get the other patterns as they're released.

Is it brioche? Eh, sort of. It’s brioche adjacent. It’s approximately brioche. It’s akin to brioche. But it’s not quite the same. You do one little thing different (swap in slips where you’d normally work a purl, if you really want to know), and you get that lovely field of not-quite-solid color.

Did this come about because I lost track of what I was doing, did something a little bit wrong, didn’t notice for a while, and absolutely loved how the fabric came out? Yeah, more or less. But let’s just have that be our little secret. I’m a firm believer that if you do it with enough verve, a lot of mistakes (at least knitting mistakes) come out pretty cool. This feels like a perfect example.

If you’ve done brioche before, you’ll be on very familiar ground. If you’ve not done brioche before, this won’t be any harder to learn (because really, brioche is one by one ribbing with some yarn overs thrown in for variety, it’s not nearly has hard as people make it seem). Either way, you’ll likely be playing with something new, and you’ll get to see just how much difference a tiny little change can make!
