Come demystify the graphic world of brioche stitch with me! This workshop is designed for intermediate knitters, focusing on the structure, mechanics, and design possibilities of this squishy, architectural stitch pattern.

During the workshop we will begin a small, modern sampler scarf that will teach us the rhythmic logic of working two colors flat, maintaining clean edges, and reading your stitches with confidence. We will then dive into fabric sculpting, mastering the essential increases and decreases that bend brioche columns into stunning geometric shapes.

We will also cover essential troubleshooting: how to spot mistakes, use lifelines, and safely ladder down to fix dropped stitches. We’ll wrap up with a look at brioche yarn theory and key finishing touches that dramatically transform your fabric.

This workshop covers:
• Two-color brioche mechanics and rhythmic logic.
• Shaping: Left/right decreases and foundational increases.
• Troubleshooting: Fixing dropped stitches and misaligned columns.
• Understanding brioche gauge, yarn selection, and blocking.
