For the love of brioche

Introductory class to brioche knitting with Dany from @a_knitters_suitcase

  If you love the look and squishy feel of brioche, but you feel like it is too difficult for you, this is the perfect class to build your brioche knitting skills and gain confidence.

Join us for this relaxed 2 and ½ hours class to learn the basics of this technique, whether you are an English style or continental knitter.

We will explore together:

• Brioche knitting and brioche purling worked flat and in the round
• Abbreviations and instructions for brioche in knitting patterns
• How to measure your gauge in brioche
• Basic increases and decreases
• How to fix dropped stitches

  And by the end of it, you will feel confident to start planning your own first brioche project.

 @ Calico & Ivy, Swanbourne
When: Tuesday the 28^th of January 2025, from 10.30 am to 1.00 pm
