Description ~ Patterned Brioche

Brioche is a creative way to make a lofty, two-sided ribbed fabric.  Although this popular pattern stitch is often found to be intimidating, JC will teach everyone, in a few simple steps, how surprisingly easy it is to learn.  Take plain brioche rib, mix in some increases and decreases, and what do you get? Gorgeous patterning! Leaves and branches, feathers and faux cables: all created by increasing from one stitch to three (or five!) and decreasing from three (or five!) to one.
