Reviews Knitting Brioche: The Essential Guide to the Brioche Stitch (Paperback)
The book is wonderfully illustrated with photographs that demonstrate the various techniques that Ms. Marchant discusses. She goes into details about single color knitting, two-color knitting, cable knitting, casting on and reversible Brioche. She even goes into the rare Brioche patterns that use up to five different colors.
The projects she has chosen for the book are lovely. I especially like the Geveldak Scarf, the Oor-Flap Muts hat, the Amsterdam Cardigan and the boot flaps.
This book is a great resource for anyone who wants to try this exciting and beautiful form of knitting. It will take practice and time but, for me, that's what knitting is all about.
