If you’ve ever heard about brioche from other knitters, you might be feeling intimidated and worried it’s too difficult for you. Or maybe you’ve tried it before, and the pattern you used made you more confused than when you started. I feel you, because I’ve been there too! But, I’m convinced that with the right support, you can absolutely knit brioche… and love it.

The tutorials for all of the stitches are linked in the pattern, as well as a one color brioche tutorial and a two color brioche in-the-round tutorial!

All Snickerdoodle Knits patterns include clear, step-by-step instructions and linked video technique tutorials to walk you through the pattern with confidence. I am also available for pattern support if you have questions.
