Class Details:

Learn the basics of 2-color brioche in the round by beginning a lovely, reversible cowl. You’ll learn the basic brioche technique and how to avoid the confusion at the end of the round. This class gives you a foundation to many more advanced brioche projects! Technique Requirements: knit/purl; cast on/bind off; increase/decrease; working in the round

Homework:

For this class you can either begin a cowl or do a smaller swatch with larger yarn and needles to learn the technique.
For a cowl: Using a relaxed cast on, CO 112 sts. Place marker. Knit 3 rounds, slipping the marker when you come to it. Bring this to class.
For a swatch: Using a relaxed cast on, CO 56 sts. Place marker. Work 3 rounds of k1, p1 ribbing, slipping the marker when you come to it. Bring this to class.

Supplies for Class:

2 colors of fingering (sock wt) yarn—at least 50g (about 200 yds) each. For best results, use colors with a high contrast. US 4 circular needle, either 16 inches or 24 inches.

To make a practice swatch: 2 colors of worsted wt yarn (no set amount because it's just for practice). For best results, use colors with a high contrast. US 6 or 7 circular needle, 16 inches long. You will also receive the cowl pattern as part of the class.
