Product Details

A beautiful brioche design for those small quantities of fingering-weight yarn in contrasting colours.

Skills required: Basic knitting techniques such as casting on, binding off and working in the round over a small circumference; plain ribbed brioche knitting. Three pages of photo tutorials cover additional techniques such as brioche increases and decreases as well as the picot bind-off. The pattern includes full written instruction as well as charts for the patterned sections.

Size: The pattern is written for one size; shown in Sock by Malabrigo Yarn (light fingering weight) worked on 2.75 mm needles. Brioche fabric is very stretchy and accommodates a range of sizes; needle size or yarn weight can be varied in addition.

Variation: The Naturalist’s Cuffs The charts and instructions can also be used to make a pair of cuffs without thumb hole and shaping.

Your mitts or cuffs will be fully reversible if you carefully hide all ends when finishing.
