Ready to take the next step in brioche knitting? Join us for Brioche 2 where we will work together through Andrea Mowry's Cinnabar shawl.
In this class we will learn how to work brioche stitches using two different yarn weights, how to incorporate brioche and standard stitches into one row, and how to tie these still together to creat asymmetrical shaping.
Skill Level: Advanced beginner knitting skills required. Must be comfortable knitting, purling, and working basic increases and decreases. A basic familiarity with basic brioche skills is strongly recommended.
Cost: $75 for three, 2-hour sessions
Location: Knotty Lamb

PATTERN
Pattern is not included in class price. You will need to purchase a copy of Cinnabar by Andrea Mowry before the start of the first session. Pattern can be purchased through Ravelry (click here for pattern) or by visiting us in the shop at least 20 minutes prior to the start of class.
YARN REQUIREMENTS
MC - DK Weight Wool 200 g/800 yds
CC - Sport Weight Wool 150 g/600 yds
Yarn selection note from designer:
Using two different weights of yarn adds even more texture to this shawl. I kept my MC neutral and used my CC to play with color. Anything from another solid, to gradient sets or even stash scraps would be great! You are looking for a flowy fabric with nice drape. I recommend yarns with some bounce back (wool, for example) to help keep the brioche from stretching out too much. The best way to know if your yarn choice will work is to do a swatch and wet block it! If you like the drape and feel, then go for it!
