Learn Brioche Knitting with Amanda

November 14, 2023 @ 2:00 pm - 8:00 pm

CAD $120

Class Description & Information:

This knitting technique can be used to create visually striking, extra-squishy, two-colour ribbing. We’ll make a cozy cowl that’s the perfect size for Ottawa winters, and you’ll learn the essential brioche knit and purl stitches, with a focus on understanding what’s happening so you’ll be able to fix any mistakes.
The cowl features a twist pattern that looks like complicated cables but is made from simple increases and decreases. That way, you’ll get to try out some basic increases and decreases with a teacher at your side. Afterward, you’ll be prepared for following a brioche pattern on your own. And you’ll have a reversible, impressive new neckwarmer.

Teacher:

This class is taught by Amanda Schwabe, who loves fixing mistakes and designing brioche patterns. She has been teaching knitting for about 10 years and designing knitting patterns even longer.
