This is a one session class: Thursday, March 20th, 6-8 pm

Prerequisites: You should be comfortable casting on, working in the round, knitting, and purling.

Intro to Brioche Stitch: Create lofty, textured fabric using Brioche Stitch, which resembles ribbing but with much more depth and many more possibilities. We'll knit a swatch (or start a scarf) in basic Brioche Stitch and start a cowl in two-color Brioche for a richly textured and reversible fabric.

Materials: 30(300) yards smooth worsted or aran weight yarn for swatch(scarf), 100 yards smooth worsted or aran weight yarn in each of two highly contrasting colors for cowl, 16” circular knitting needles AND another set of straight or circular needles in size 6-9 US (1-2 sizes smaller than that recommended for your yarn), stitch marker.

Homework: with darker color loosely cast on 70 stitches on 16" circular needles, place a marker and join into the round, and work four rounds garter stitch: [purl 1 round, knit 1 round] twice.

Ages 13+
