Luxurious Beginner Brioche Cowl (V)

This class is currently full. Please call Customer Service at 1-800-367-9327 to be put on the wait list.

Brioche knitting projects are everywhere! Seize the day and learn how to knit 2-color brioche, in the round to create a reversible cowl. The brioche stitch produces a lofty, ridged fabric that resembles the (knit 1, purl 1) rib stitch. Knit in Valley Yarns Hitchcock, this cowl is soft and luxurious, and a perfect knitted gift for a special someone (or a treat for you)! In this class you will learn all the basic techniques involved in brioche knitting in the round including how to read a brioche pattern, how to count rows, how to count stitches, and how to identify and fix common mistakes. Students must be able to cast on, bind off, knit, purl, work basic stitch patterns with combinations of knits and purls, and follow written instructions.

You will receive the Zoom link 1-2 business days before the virtual class.
