Learn brioche with a chunky, cozy, two-color beanie!

Two-color brioche is a knitting technique that produces delightfully squishy fabric with beautiful vertical stripes. You’ve probably seen in it in some of your favorite knitting patterns of the last few years. Brioche is fun to knit, but getting started can be intimidating … so we’ve created this class to help you learn the two-color brioche stitches and make your first ever brioche project, the Bulky Brioche Slouch Hat by Lavanya Patricella!

Join Valerie in this two-week class where you’ll knit up a brioche hat using two colors of Malabrigo Chunky yarn. She’ll teach you the basic brioche stitches, and then you’ll get plenty of practice with them knitting your hat. Motivated knitters may finish their hat during class and start a second one in the reverse colors!

No brioche experience is necessary, however students should have knit a hat prior to taking this class.

You will learn: Two-color brioche (brk and brp stitches).

Skills required: Knit, purl, knitting in the round, and standard decreases (not brioche decreases).
