This pattern offers a fun way of polishing your brioche knitting skills. It starts with a one-color English rib, then the second color is added for two-color rib, and finally, the increases and decreases are added for a beautiful cable-like main brioche pattern.

The pattern assumes that you have a basic knowledge of brioche knitting, although if you need to refresh your brioche knitting skills, the links to the video tutorials are included.

The pattern includes both charts and written instructions.
