In this class, you'll learn how to work brioche stitch in two contrasting colors, while making yourself a beautiful cowl. It's a technique that looks intricate but becomes intuitive once you understand the rhythm. The cowl is worked in 3 brioche sections, alternating with garter stitch that doubles as a built-in lifeline, so you can relax and enjoy the process.
You'll learn how to manage two colors in brioche, read the pattern, and build the lush, reversible fabric that makes brioche so satisfying to knit.
