One of our most asked-about classes is back! Learn the ins and outs of brioche knitting with Nancy Vandivert. In this class we'll be learning to knit two-color brioche. Choose one of Kate Atherley's beginner-friendly Opportunity Three cowls. We suggest starting with the easiest of the three cowls, Opportunity Straightforward, then venturing on to Opportunity Tilted to learn about increases and decreases in brioche knitting.
