I currently have two options for brioche knitting workshops.
option one – Introduction to brioche knitting
Description of workshop – Brioche knitting creates an amazing, reversible fabric which is absolutely ideal for scarves, cowls, shawls etc. Introducing a second colour adds another dimension to the work and interesting effects can be created simply by choosing the colours with careful thought or by switching between brioche knit and brioche purl stitch.
You will need to be an adventurous OR confident and experienced knitter to tackle this technique, but it is well worth the effort when you see the results which can be achieved.
We will look at the skills needed to get going with brioche knitting and move on to working the technique in two colours.

option two – 2-Colour Brioche Knitting
Brioche knitting in 2 colours creates an amazing, reversible fabric which is absolutely ideal for scarves, cowls, shawls etc. By creating movement in the lines of the brioche rib we reveal fascinating patterns and designs which are incredibly satisfying.
You will need to be an adventurous OR confident and experienced knitter to tackle this technique, but it is well worth the effort when you see the results which can be achieved.
We will look at the skills needed to get going with 2-colour brioche knitting and practise the increasing and decreasing stitches used to produce the elegant waves and designs which will be a real wow factor in your finished piece.
You will be able to choose a kit to create your own brioche cowl and go home with a new and exciting project to finish at your own pace.
You will need to bring along some double pointed or circular knitting needles.
For the cowl project you’ll require 5mm circular needle OR long dpn’s
