Brioche Pastiche
Sunday September 29th, 2-4:30pm
Michele Lee Bernstein (PDXKnitterati)

Brioche Knitting is easier in the round than flat, and even easier when using two colors rather than one. In this 2-hour beginners' brioche class, you'll learn basic brioche rib as the beginning of a simple headband or cowl. Then Michele will introduce increases and decreases to make a leafy pattern, but only if you want to. Once we get started, you choose the pattern - plain or leafy, hat or cowl. You'll also learn how to fix common mistakes in brioche knitting.

Prerequisite skills. This is a beginners' brioche class. Students should know how to knit and purl, cast on and bind off, and work in the round.

Supplies you'll need. One light colored and one dark colored worsted weight yarn, 100 yards each; US 6 circular needle - 16" for hat, or 24" for cowl; 1 stitch marker to mark beginning of round; Brioche Pastiche pattern (available for purchase on Ravelry; discount code included in class handout).

Prior to class homework. With darker color, loosely cast on for hat or cowl using long tail cast on method (refer to pattern for cast on stitch numbers). Join to work in the round, then knit one round. Bring yarn to the front of your work.

This is an in-person class. Once enrolled, you'll receive an email with the class handout and discount code for your pattern. $55, plus supplies.
