You may remember from a previous post that I received some beautiful wool in the post recently. The wool was bought specifically to knit this garment which I saw on Pinterest. The pattern is available from www.pickles.no
It is a very loose knit and creates a lovely soft texture.
It is a bit difficult to see how it will look as it really needs to be stretched on the wearer to get the full idea.
This is the outside of the garment.
This is the inside.
I was very lucky at Christmas as my secret Santa gave me this great book.
Brioche in this case is not a kind of light sweet bun or roll but is actually a knitting stitch. The stitch is known by several different names:Prime-rib, shawl stitch, Oriental rib, English rib, Shaker Knitting, Patent Stitch, Fisherman’s Rib and Brioche stitch

It’s nice!
Thank you.
That’s the cutest dress ever, love that stitch.
I hope Maggie likes it.
That dress is precious. I think brioche stitch is really neat.
I am enjoying working it.
That’s going to look beautiful when its finished, and it’s so neat inside and out.
I hope it will be able to be worn either way.
This is so beautiful. I have never done the brioche. Maybe I will put it on next years knitting list 🙂 judy
I have done fisherman’s rib before and this particular brioche stitch is fisherman’s rib in two colours worked on alternate rows. Quite simple really. The other brioche stitches, in the book I received for Christmas, look a bit more complicated.
Just beautiful x
I think it will turn out fine.
