Want to try brioche knitting? Start here! This pattern is great for when you have one or two skeins of a lovely yarn and you want to use every bit of it. This works well for handpaints, handspun, variegated, and solids. Use two different colorways that complement each other or the same colorway. For the smaller sizes, you can work from both ends of one skein.

It works in various weights of yarn, though thinner yarn won’t be as big and squooshy as thicker yarn. Shown in super bulky and aran.

Brioche and two-color brioche in the round is so much easier than you might think! This is a great project to learn how to do this type of stitch. By doing two colors it makes it much easier to keep track of which round you are on as you get used to doing the stitches.

AND… this knits up super quick. It makes for a quick and easy last minute gift!
