Intro to Brioche Knitting
Wed 11/13 & 11/20
6pm - 8pm

This class is for those familiar with knit and purl stitches and are comfortable with knitting in the round. 

Have you spotted a wonderfully squishy brioche knitted project in the shop and have been wanting to learn how to make one for yourself? Then this class is for you! Come join us to learn the basics of brioche knitting while working on a small and fun cowl project. This cowl is beautiful in a two-color brioche and with bulky weight yarn, it works up so fast you’ll want to make another 3 to give during the holidays. Pattern is “Beginners Brioche Cowl” by Lavanya Patricella.
