knitting 401 series: beginner's brioche cowl

Brioche knitting is a distinctive knitted ribbing technique that is recognizable by its heightened, thick texture. It is achieved by alternating columns of slipped stitches with yarnovers and knit or purl stitches.
We will be knitting up the Beginner's Brioche Cowl by Lavanya Patricella. This pattern has been designed specifically for beginners that want to learn brioche knitting. After learning this new skill in class, you will come away with the coziest cowl for the winter season which is the perfect accessory to your winter garments this year!
