A Technique So Fabulous Even On The Reverse It Looks Amazing

Brioche is a knitting technique that uses its own special set of stitches to create a fabulous texture, unlike any other type of knitting. It creates a lovely warm, squishy, reversible rib-like fabric, which looks fantastic on both sides.

Brioche follows its own rules, so it's unlike anything you've tried before. If you're ready to try something new, brioche is a great choice, so come on in and join in the fun!

For only £17 you can have all access to all the videos and resources from each week of the LAL sitting on your digital bookshelf to refer back to any time in the next 12 months!

Knitters are always looking for a new challenge.

Are You?

Knit designers are catching on to brioche's popularity, and now more than ever there are lots of brioche patterns to choose from. Two popular designers are Nancy Marchant – known as the ‘queen’ of brioche, and Stephen West who uses the technique often mixed with others in his ‘one of a kind’ shawl designs.
