I wanted to design a good introduction to brioche that still captured some of the dramatic effects that it is known for. Working in two colors is often easier than working in one since you can easily see which stitch is to be slipped and which is to be worked. When you work two-colored ribbing over an odd number of stitches, the same color rib runs up each side, keeping the colors balanced.
