  • Brioche Stitch Knitting: Free Brioche Knitting Guide + Patterns Brioche Stitch Knitting: Free Brioche Knitting Guide + Patterns
    Brioche Stitch Knitting: Free Brioche Knitting Guide + Patterns Brioche Stitch Knitting: Free Brioche Knitting Guide + Patterns BRIOCHE STITCH is one of those pattern stitches that seems tricky, but it’s really not. The stitch uses a combination of good old knit stitches, as well as slipped stitches that are paired with yarnovers. Brioche can be worked in the round or flat, and it makes very warm and beautiful garments and accessories. Brioche really shines when worked in two colors, and it’s actually easier to work with two colors instead of one, because the two colors enable you to see the stitches really well from one row to the next. The increases and decreases in brioche knitting are very visible, and they add so much visual interest to the project. I’ve put together this eBook to teach you how to work the brioche stitch, and to give you some patterns to practice with. The patterns go from easy to more advanced, so you can go from one to the next as you become more comfortable with the stitch. Have fun learning the brioche stitch!

The sweater knits up quickly and re- quires almost no finishing. I hope the weaving without knitting trick will be one that in- spires creativity and becomes part of your regular repertoire. Materials: 1 skein of Color A, and 1(1,2) skeins of Color B of Cascade Bentley yarn in sharply contrasting colors. Pictured sweater is colors 07 and 10, but there are many combinations of the colorways which will work well. Black has become a popu- lar color for baby clothes and the black can be paired with several choices. Size 5 and 7 needles, 16 inch circular for both sizes, 24 inch circular for larger size and DPNs for both. (Or just 32 inch for both sizes if you do magic loop). A couple extra circular needles in size 7 or smaller any length to serve as sleeve holders (or hold sleeve sts on scrap yarn) OR SIZE REQUIRED TO OBTAIN GAUGE.

  • Yarns for Weaving: a Guide for Shops
    Yarns for Weaving: A Guide for Shops Beautiful fabrics can be woven from most of the yarns in your shop. We offer a few guidelines when thinking about yarn for weaving. Knitting vs. Weaving Yarns Yarns designed for knitting have more stretch than yarns created specifically for weaving. Because of this, finished fabrics may have more “bounce” on the loom and not full in the same way that a weaving yarn might. The Wonders of Wool We love wool yarns for weaving because they full or blossom during the washing process. Be aware that superwash wools have been engineered to not full or felt during washing. They don’t produce the hand that we like to see in a woven fabric. We suggest that you keep in stock an affordable wool yarn, such as Brown Sheep’s Nature Spun in sizes that fit our range of reeds (a general rule of thumb: 5=bulky; 8=worsted; 10=sport; 12=fingering). Acrylic Knitting Yarns Because they stretch a lot under tension, we don’t recommend acrylic knitting yarns for warp. If you must, the weft is okay, but an acrylic yarn will not bloom during the finishing process and may leave you with either an overly limp or overly stiff fabric. Novelties Novelty yarns combined with a simple plied yarn can produce smashing results. If possible, sley the novelty yarn in the slots where it has more room to move. Running a length of yarn up and down in a slot (or a hole) is one way to gauge if it will move freely in that reed.
