Brioche Workshop with Makenzie Alvarez

This class is crafted for knitters ready to deepen their understanding and skill in brioche. We'll explore two exciting techniques in depth: two-color brioche rib with increases and the textured beauty of honeycomb brioche. As we knit the "Timekeepers Cowl" together, you'll not only learn the stitches but also gain a strong understanding of how to read these patterns from written instructions. Plus, we'll cover various decreasing methods that enable those signature flowing brioche designs, such as hourglass brioche. This class will significantly build on your existing brioche foundation, equipping you with the comprehensive skills needed for even the most complex brioche projects.

** You will receive a handout during class on all the brioche knitting terms covered in class and for continuing the pattern. This will include photo tutorials.

Prerequisites
Students must be comfortable knitting, purling, yarn overs, increasing/decreasing, reading knitting instructions.
