Beginner Brioche with Lesley Anne Robinson

Prerequisite - Students should know how to knit, purl, and knit in the round. No brioche knowledge required!

Beginner Brioche class!! 

Brioche is meant to be a fun and engaging stitch pattern!!! I want to take away all the fear and uncertainty surrounding brioche knitting. Grab some DK weight yarn and circular needles to knit a simple brioche cowl together! Two-color brioche is very fun, and can be easier to see the anatomy of brioche stitches, so we will be focusing on this during the class. Yarn choices and color will be briefly discussed. You will learn my favorite cast-on and bind-off techniques to use with brioche knitting, the basic brioche setup, and work on something you could take home to keep practicing!

Materials:

• 2 balls of DK yarn in high contrasting colors
• 16” (40.5 cm) long US 5 (3.75 mm) circular needles or DPN’s, whatever you prefer using for working in the round

Homework: Cast on stitches (in handout) to be ready to start brioche knitting

April Class Date: Apr 5th 10am-1pm

This is an in-person event, at Knit ATX.

About Your Instructor

I am Lesley Anne Robinson, the knitting pattern designer behind Knit Graffiti Designs. I love to create knitting patterns that focus on modern style with a flair for something different. After graduating from the College for Creative Studies (located in Detroit, Michigan) with a degree in Interior Design and a minor in Fiber Design in 2006, I moved to New York City! I spent several years there working as a commercial Interior Designer for Spin Design. I started knitting in college, but in 2015 I began self-publishing my own knitting designs, and I love everything about this incredible community!

Brioche knitting is my passion. I fell in love with the technique and just haven’t gotten sick of it yet. I love to teach others how to knit those beautiful brioche stitches, and spend my days swatching out new brioche stitch patterns.
