Two Colour Brioche Knitting in the Round | Learn with Kath Andrews

Ages 16+ unless attending with a parent or guardian

Learn how to knit two colour brioche when working in the round with North Wales knitwear designer, Kath Andrews.

Understand how to read your brioche knitting in the round and how to tell which round and which yarn to work next!

Learn how to avoid common problems at the beginning or end of a round and what the differences are between working brioche in the round rather than flat.

We’ll be making brioche wrist warmers using the basic two colour brioche stitch, a brioche  increase and one decrease, with options for how many increase and decrease pattern repeats to include.
