Knitting Fresh Brioche by Nancy Marchant

Description

In Knitting Fresh Brioche, Nancy Marchant takes her innovative approach to this uniquely appealing stitch to a whole new level.

Working in two colours, Nancy uses increases and decreases to produce graceful, undulating lines that grow out of the simple brioche rib. The result is a stunning reversible fabric with subtly different light and dark sides, shown off here in more than 70 original stitch patterns and 12 exquisite scarf and shawl projects. Thanks to illustrated step-by-step guides to everything from the basic stitch to the most advanced variations, you’ll come away with both the technique and the inspiration to create your own two-colour brioche masterpieces.

Nancy Marchant, aka The Queen of Brioche, was born in Indiana but now lives and works as a graphic designer in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. She has written articles and designed for Vogue Knitting and Interweave Knits, as well as a number of Dutch knitting magazines, and is the author of Knitting Brioche, which is the first and only knitting book devoted exclusively to the brioche stitch.
