In this class, we will learn how to knit two-color brioche and brioche lace by making
the Brio Brioche Hat. Two-color brioche knitting produces a plush and squishy fabric with a stunning visual impact of pronounced ribbing in contrasting colors! It’s highly encouraged that along with knitting materials, participants also come prepared to take
written notes.

Skills we will focus on in this class:
● Double Pass Brioche Knitting
● Single Pass Brioche Knitting
● Reading brioche lace charts
● Understanding brioche lace stitches (inc and dec)
● Identifying and correcting errors in brioche knitting
● Crown decreases

Skill level: Advanced beginner. It will be helpful to have experience knitting in both English and
Continental styles.
