Brioche in the Round with Lesley Anne Robinson

Brioche in the Round

Saturday, May 20, 2023 10 am – 1 pm

In this class, we will be going over the basic stitches of One-Color Brioche, then move on to exciting Two-Color Brioche, all knit in the round.

One-Color Brioche is a great way to teach your hands the muscle memory of the technique without the complications of two different yarns, and is a fantastic introduction to Two-Color Brioche.

Two-color brioche is very fun, and can be easier to see the anatomy of brioche stitches, so we will be focusing on this for the remainder of the class. Yarn choices and color will be briefly discussed. You will learn my favorite cast-on and bind-off techniques to use with brioche knitting, the basic brioche setup, and work on something you could take home to keep practicing!
