We’ll cover the basics of the two-colour brioche stitch and the terminology used. We’ll also explore a brioche increase and two simple decreases to create geometric shapes in your brioche swatch. \nThis class is suitable for intermediate (or experienced) knitters. You need to be able to confidently cast on\, cast off\, knit\, purl\, and work yarn overs. Some experience with knitted decreases and the ability to follow a pattern is also very useful. \nYarn and handouts are provided to all\, and scissors and tapestry needles will be available to borrow.\n\nKnitters will need to bring a circular 5mm knitting needle (60-80cm long) with them – to work this technique the needles must be circular even though we are knitting flat. If they do not have this\, I will have some they can purchase at the start of the workshop. They should also bring a pen or pencil for making notes.\n\nREMEMBER to access your class you must have a marketplace ticket valid for the day your class is running. \nIf the entrance time slot that you need to be able to access your class is sold out\, please purchase the next available time slot for that day and still arrive in time for your class\, volunteers at the door will check your class details and allow you early entry if necessary. All classes take place during show open times on 15th and 16th March 2025. \nPlease note the start AND finish time of your class if you are booking multiple classes. We cannot refund classes due to errors in booking\, please make sure that the classes you are booking do not overlap or clash. \nPlease arrive in time to walk to your classroom from the entrance of the arena. The arena is approximately 100m long and the two classrooms are located on the right hand wall as you enter the marketplace. We will have volunteers in high visibility jackets helping to direct you to your classrooms.\n \nAll class bookings are non-refundable and cannot be exchanged. \nWorkshop ticket is £36.

Even better\, they’re some of the most commonly used incs/decs so you’ll be able to tackle a wide range of brioche patterns after taking this workshop. \n2-hour workshop\, £25\, including yarn. \nBring 5mm circular knitting needles (60-80cm long) with you. Needles must be circular for brioche knitting\, though we will be knitting flat\, not in the round. \nSkills required – cast-on\, cast-off\, knit & purl\, some experience of knitting basic two-colour brioche stitch \nRefreshments can be bought from the shop during the workshop. \nEntry to the shop for the workshop (and free parking) is at the back of the shop (the entrance to the shopping precinct is closed in the evenings). Turn into Precinct Way\, then take the first right into the loading area of the shopping precinct. \nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n LinkedIn\n \n Share on Mastodon (Opens in new window)\n Mastodon\n \n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky\n Like this:Like Loading...
