Brioche SOS: How to Correct Mistakes
You’ll learn how to identify and correct typical mistakes such as dropped stitches, and missed yarnovers. We’ll cover when and how to “tink” or “frog” in brioche, and you’ll practice choosing the best approach for different situations. With hands-on practice and supportive instruction, you’ll leave class feeling more comfortable with brioche fabric and more confident in your ability to tackle even complex brioche patterns.
