Notes

General
I can definitely recommend Knitting Fresh Brioche: Creating Two-Color Twists & Turns for anyone interested in brioche. It has excellent photo tutorials (for both Continental & American knitters) for all brioche stitches, COs & BOs, neat edges, and how to fix mistakes. The complete patterns are all lovely and the large section of different brioche patterns is a goldmine for anyone who wants to create their own items. And all patterns are both charted and written!

LC Kid-Seta, DC Merino Lace

Mods

  • LTCO using DC,
  • knit 10 pattern repeats,
