Introduction to Brioche with Gwen Wagner-Adair | Saturday 13th June 1pm to 5pm

Brioche – Where do I start?

Want to have a go at this fab new knitting technique? It’s suddenly everywhere!

Come along and make a cowl to help you get to grips with the ins and outs of brioche knitting. You’ll be surprised how simply some stitches can be made – we’ll start with single-colour fabric worked flat to give a deep texture, followed by a cowl worked two-colour in the round, to familiarise you with the structure of 2 colour brioche. 

We’ll learn the principles behind how the fabric is constructed (both in the round and worked flat), learn to recognise the different stitches in your work and in a pattern (including charts), and learn how to fix small mistakes.

You will also be supplied with a set of notes to take home with you. (Personal use only, not to be shared/distributed).

Materials are not included so you will need to bring:

• 2 x 50 g of any Aran yarn (2 contrasting colours that go together – one plain and one self-striping is fun)
• 5mm circular needles – 60 cm length recommended for this size of cowl (If you tend to knit tightly, please bring a larger size needle - 5.5 or 6mm)

or

• You will be entitled to a 10% discount on any materials for the class that you purchase on the day.

Please Note - Classes and groups will only run if at least four people have signed up. 

To give us time to prepare, please do not arrive more than 10 minutes before the session begins.
