This article will provide you with a short overview of what Brioche knitting is and how it can be used to make some truly amazing garments. It has developed over time and even though literal translation of Brioche is mistake this form of knitting is in no way a mistake. As it can be used for double sided knitting it can make your garment much thicker and stronger so is ideal for making stuff like scarves and blankets. It uses a kind of elevated rib and if you have two distinct colours is excellent for making reversible garments like bags.
When you initially commence double sided knitting it may seem tough to get your head around it. There are a variety of books you can purchase that will take you through the details step by step and it will take a bit of practise to get the hang of it. It may also be better to learn when you commence with two colours as you will see if you make an error as you should only be able to see one colour on one side and the other on the other side. When knitting double sided you effectively knit twice as many rows as you do for normal knitting.
There are lots of purling, stitching and yarn overs involved which must be learned and practised carefully. But when you have chewed and digested the method, double knitting will become as simple as pie. Basically, to accomplish double sided knitting you will require two different colours of yarn and you will have to choose which colour will be the primary and the secondary. Double knitting needs you to knit the principal colour and purl the second colour. If you discover the yarn on the cast needle in a reverse, simply use your fingers to put them in proper order.
The fundamentals of Brioche are in reality quite simple and just require a basic understanding of knitting. It is essentially the technique of ribbing and using yarn overs and slipping stitches. You will need to be careful though to ensure you work it in the right way. It is usually straightforward to spot where a error is made though because you will see the colour on the wrong side and it will stand out like a sore thumb. Take your time over it initially and it will soon come naturally.
If you are wondering about the advantages of this method then you need to think about precisely what can be achieved by using it. Once you know the fundamentals you will be able to make complex patterns that are 100% reversible that will open up a whole world of unique designs to you.
