Brioche<br />
By Katherine Lymer<br />
In the absence of a known history or discernible tradition, brioche<br />
became rather obsolete. Not now! Brioche knitting is enjoying<br />
a welcome resurgence in creating accessories and garments in bright,<br />
bold colours. Its thick fabric is gloriously textured and squishy and,<br />
when worked in two colours, can create a reversible ribbed fabric<br />
– perfect for shawls and scarves. <strong>Rowan</strong> have featured a number of<br />
brioche patterns in the past and the most recent in Magazine 63 is Lisa<br />
Richardson’s striking “Stafford” jumper, and so this provides a timely<br />
opportunity to explore some of the techniques and terminology<br />
associated <strong>with</strong> brioche knitting. We’re going to start our journey<br />
looking at brioche in one colour – and then apply the newly learnt<br />
principles to two-colour brioche.<br />
