Brioche knitting is a popular technique that creates a thick, reversible fabric with distinctive ribs. Robinson, who publishes knitting patterns as Knit Graffiti Design, specializes in eye-catching, two-color brioche accessories, and this comprehensive guide to the technique includes a full tutorial covering basic stitches, increases, and decreases for both one-color and two-color brioche, as well as a suite of brioche projects. These projects range from simple, beginner-friendly hats in both one-color and two-color brioche to intricate shawls and sweaters that explore the unique texture of the brioche stitch, or that incorporate lace and colorwork to show-stopping effect. Step-by-step, close-up photo tutorials are included in the how-to section, and links to video tutorials of various techniques are included throughout the book.
VERDICT This is an excellent reference to brioche knitting, and the patterns will appeal both to knitters new to this technique as well as experienced brioche knitters interested in expanding their skills.
