Virtual Syncopated Brioche
Part of Virtual Vogue Knitting – August 2020
Syncopation is a brioche technique for switching foreground and background colors by switching knit and purl columns. The technique not only creates textural interest, it is also the basis for stunning graphic two-color brioche design elements on a garter stitch background. In this class, I’ll share the basics of the technique and then we’ll explore the design possibilities, so you can create your own syncopated brioche designs.
