The brioche knit stitch makes a beautifully squishy, reversible ribbed fabric which is extremely popular amongst knitters but which can also be quite intimidating. The Brioche Knitting Workshop is a practical guide that holds the reader’s hand through all the brioche basics with very clear step-by-step photography and instructions, with 15 projects to practice their skills.

The projects are mostly accessories including hats, cowls, scarves, mittens and slippers but there are a couple of one-size-fits-most garments such as a poncho. The instructions include an introduction to the brioche stitch, tips and the all-important abbreviations and terminology used for brioche knitting. The techniques covered are knitting brioche flat and in the round, how to make a swatch for gauge, as well as one and two color brioche. There is also detailed advice for increasing and decreasing in brioche and how to troubleshoot and correct your mistakes.
