Notes

This swatch can be knit as long or as short as you want. The written and video instructions are to demonstrate how to knit a brioche swatch to practice knitting the brioche technique. This is a low-risk way to practice a new technique. There is no shame at all in messing up and ripping the swatch out to starting over. Just remember to slow down and give yourself permission to make mistakes. I hope that by the end of this swatch you are as in love with brioche as I am!

Yarn

Two contrasting colors of Worsted weight yarn. Solid colors with high contrast works best to show the anatomy of brioche.
