Brioche knitting has been popular for a while now, and it’s easy to see why. This squishy, stretchy fabric is fun to knit and not actually that difficult once you get the basics down.
But like a lot of things in knitting, it has its own language and particular techniques that you need to get comfortable with before you take on a big project.
Over at Our Daily Craft I wrote up an overview of the basics you need to know to knit simple, one color, flat brioche knitting, plus a simple headband pattern to try while you’re getting used to the movements. Or you can check out the video version below.
Once you’ve gotten that little project under your belt (it will really only take a couple of hours) you can move on to more complex brioche if you like.
Have you knit brioche before? I think this is the year I finally knit a brioche sweater!
