If you’re active with other knitters on Instagram, Twitter, etc… you may have noticed that Brioche has been making an appearance more frequently.
The lovely Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark has just released a new Craftsy class called Brioche Knitting Made Easy. Brioche presses so many of my happy buttons. Texture: Check! Dynamic Fabric: Check! Colorplay: Check! The last few months every new project has been at risk of becoming a Brioche project. It’s just so pleasantly interesting! The yo, slip repeat is so rhythmic that I just fall effortlessly into it, but watching the fabric appear beneath my needles seems magical. I also love that when doing two-color brioche rib you get a color-faced fabric. It just makes me so endlessly happy!
Do you remember that two-color Brioche Cowl I made a while back? That pattern is the one from Mercedes’ class. While she was developing the class I saw her knitting it during one of our weekly chats and I fell in love with it! In the class Mercedes walks you through the how-tos, tips, and a bunch of great patterns. Learn the basics with a simple hat, start moving your Brioche stitches with some single color fingerless gloves, and then play with colors on the two-color cowl!
If you want to fall in love with Brioche too, or knit your own Brioche Vine Cowl, check out the class! As with all Craftsy classes, you get to keep it forever, watch at your own pace, and interact with the instructor and your fellow students. The platform lets you take video notes of things you think are important, as well as asking the instructor questions that are time stamped so the instructor knows exactly what you’re asking about!
Enjoy!
