Syncopation: 2 Color Syncopated Brioche

Syncopation: 2 Color Syncopated Brioche

Michele Lee Bernstein

Thursday PM

Brioche knitting is the current “it knit” and there are so many ways to play with it, once you understand the basic Brioche Rib stitch. We’ll review basic brioche rib, then practice syncopating (swapping dominant color with background color), and finally learn an increase and 2 decreases. Voilà, it’s a gauge swatch, and now we cast on for the real deal!

Skill level: Intermediate brioche. You should already be familiar with knitting brioche rib; this is not a beginning brioche class.
