| Like a fine French pastry, these 11 patterns are richly textured and toasty warm.  Become an I Like Knitting Gold Member now to get instant access to these wonderful patterns and hundreds more! Dear Knitter, If you've ever had the good fortune to step into a French bakery, you've hopefully had the chance to experience a pastry made of brioche. Somehow rich and decadent, yet light and puffy at the same time, a brioche is a culinary miracle. Brioche knitting evokes that same light, puffy, and rich texture. The big difference, of course, is that you don't want to wear pastries and you don't want to eat your yarn. Brioche knitting is deeply textural with wide ribs, making it wonderfully tactile, especially when you knit with a soft yarn like alpaca, Peruvian Highland wool, or superfine Merino wool. What is brioche knitting, exactly? Brioche describes a multitude of stitch combinations, using slipped stitches and yarn overs to create stunning results. It may sound a little complicated, and it can be a little slow to get started. But it really does get easier and faster with practice. And our updated Brioche Knitting Collection: 11 Beautiful Patterns includes a detailed tutorial with plenty of pictures, so you can get started right away. What else is in this collection? There's a gorgeously textured monochrome scarf that's sure to impress. You'll find a cozy infinity scarf in eye-catching shades of turquoise. And there's a super warm brioche cowl that happens to be reversible, so you get two pieces in one! The Brioche Knitting Collection: 11 Beautiful Patterns has everything you need to get started with this charming style of knitting. Plus, of course, you also get the more than 700 patterns available in our library.  Hadley Checkerboard Brioche Scarf I don't know any other way to say it; this scarf is absolutely stunning. The Hadley Checkerboard Brioche Scarf uses two-color brioche knitting and garter stitch to form a tiered checkerboard pattern on each end of the scarf. The extra fine Merino wool, in orchid and plum colors, is so soft you'll want to cuddle with this scarf on chilly winter nights. I'm really not kidding when I say that this pattern, from Quinny Zhang, is simply stunning. In fairness, though, we are lucky to have some amazingly talented creators in our midst. And it's not hard to find a pattern like this one that reopens your eyes to the beauty of knitting. Sometimes it's an unusual color pattern, or a new way of blending classic patterns and colors, or finding different yarns to work with that makes this a never-ending path to fun ideas. It doesn't hurt that when we knit, we get to make something we can wear or use around the house! I also love how cozy a handmade scarf or cowl looks and feels, like the ones below.  Aurora Boreale Infinity Scarf The eye-catching Aurora Boreale Infinity Scarf features icy shades of white and blue, but it's anything but icy when you wear it. The Aurora Boreale looks great, feels great (Angora and Alpaca!), and it's guaranteed to keep you cozy. This infinity scarf is entirely worked in brioche stitch in the round. Marilee Brioche Scarf The Marilee Brioche Scarf gets its organic, soothing look from the gently waving lines and leaf-like motifs. The 100% Merino wool, in Adriatic and Sea Breeze, makes this scarf both enchanting and extra cozy. This is a great project for learning the art of brioche knitting! And in case you're new to knitting, remember that every pattern in this collection, and in fact, every pattern we publish in I Like Knitting, comes complete with: A full list of all the yarns and tools you'll need Row by row instructions Special stitch instructions Pattern notes Detailed, full-color photography It's true, the patterns in The Brioche Knitting Collection: 11 Beautiful Patterns will challenge you to take your skills to the next level, but we'll be right here with you, with plenty of tutorials and instructions. Check out some more of the patterns in this updated collection.
 Plaid Personality Brioche Scarf If you like some color with your texture, the Plaid Personality Brioche Scarf is a can't-miss pattern. The reversible, syncopated, four-color brioche design is a marvel, for sure. A group of garter stitches precedes each color change, making the syncopating process easy to remember. To give this already fantastic scarf a little something extra, the garter stitches are later decorated vertically by pulling red strands of yarn through the purl bumps. Perfect for a late autumn stroll or a sunny winter day! The Brioche Knitting Collection: 11 Beautiful Patterns brings you a hand-picked selection of beautiful projects that will help you stay warm all winter long. Plus, this collection is only one small thread in a library of more than 700 patterns, expert tips and tutorials, and many more special collections, including The Knit Mitten Collection, The Vintage Knits Collection, and The One-Skein Knitting Collection.
