On the advice of Kathryn who posts as Backstage Knits, I am knitting a beanie as my first project using brioche stitch.
I’m using two orphan skeins. The red is a superwash wool by Lambs Pride. The grey is the natural alpaca and wool worsted leftover from Henry’s Biome hat.
So far, this seems to be a swift knit. I am making the odd mistake here and there, which slows me down as I re-knit part of a row. But surely and steadily I am getting the hang of brioche.
I’m hoping to take this project as a travel knit on an upcoming trip. But I may have it finished before we depart.
The pattern is Brioche Basic Beanie by Marilyn Bracketer and it is available for free as a download from Ravelry.
