This guide holds your hand through all the brioche basics including the tools and materials to use, which yarns to choose and the importance of colour. It also includes knitting patterns for 15 brioche accessory projects to practice your skills.

This detailed practical guide explains how to knit the brioche stitch with step-by-step instructions and photography for both Continental and English style knitters so you can follow along easily no matter how you knit.

The 15 skill-building projects are for accessories including hats, cowls, scarves, mittens and slippers and there is also a striking one-size-fits-most poncho. The pattern collection includes one colour and two colour brioche designs that are beginner-friendly but result in beautifully squishy, eye-catching finished pieces.

The instructions start with an introduction to the brioche stitch and why knitters need it in their lives. Author Lavanya Patricella, then explains the importance of using the right materials and why you have to work with circular or double pointed needles to work brioche, as well as brioche knitting tips and the all-important abbreviations and terminology used for brioche knitting.

The techniques covered include knitting brioche flat and in the round, how to make a swatch for gauge, as well as how to work one and two colour brioche. There is also detailed advice for increasing and decreasing in brioche and how to troubleshoot and correct your mistakes.

If you've admired beautiful brioche knitting but never taken the plunge this is the book that will help you to build your brioche skills. Discover how to master the three main stitches, how to manage the colours you use to best effect and then try out your new skills with the projects section.

100 essential stitches with actual-size swatches and charts

DEBBIE TOMKIES

Knitted cables are fascinating to knitters of all abilities and this handy cable knitting stitch dictionary is the perfect reference guide. Packed with over 100 cable stitches, it covers everything from timeless classics to exciting, contemporary stitches.

The Cable Knitting Stitch Dictionary covers all the essential skills needed to produce successful cables, such as cable terminology, how to read and follow cable charts, spotting and correcting errors, and handy tips and tricks for beginners.

There are skill level flags so readers can learn as they go, and mix and match ideas for combining different cable designs. As well as the written patterns there are charts for each of the designs alongside life-size photography of the knitted samples stitched up in high-definition yarn.

The book begins with a series of classic cables and then moves on to more detailed cables progressing in complexity from combination cables and panels to all over designs and motifs. It then moves on to explaining how to incorporate other techniques like colorwork. The key stitches required are explained with step-by-step photography and instructions. And there is a chapter about creating your own designs with cables which explores how to chart your own cables, how cables affect the drape of the fabric and ways to adapt this, choosing the right yarn and cable placement.

The ‘mix and match’ feature for combining cables flags the row pattern repeat and stitch multiples so you can see if it would work in a specific project. There is also information about the stocking stitch equivalent which is essential when doing a gauge swatch in order to know how wide the cable pattern should be.

By taking the best of the traditional cable designs and blending them with contemporary cables, this collection will be a valued reference for any knitter.

30 crochet patterns for flower designs inspired by decorative tiles

VARIOUS

A collection of 30 beautiful designs for flower motifs inspired by decorative tiles from around the world. All of the patterns are written in US crochet terms with a handy table for the equivalent UK terms. These patterns have been previously published in 100 Crochet Tiles.

Most of the motifs are square and crocheted from the centre out – like a granny square - but there are also round, octagon and hexagon-shaped motifs, as well as an ogee-shaped motif, so plenty to choose from. Readers can try them all or choose their favourites and make multiple tiles to form a blanket or throw.

The flower tile designs include textured flowers, modern abstract designs and highly textured motifs with popcorn and puff stitches. A combination of different techniques are used including granny square crochet and tapestry crochet.

Each pattern features full written instructions as well as large crochet charts for easy stitching. There is also full guidance on all the necessary crochet techniques needed at the back of the book. These crochet tile patterns are the perfect stash buster and a great way to use up small amounts of leftover yarn.

The designers include some of the biggest names in crochet including Rachele Carmona (@cypresstextiles 117k on IG), Catherine Noronha (@catherinecrochets 32k on IG), and Hattie Risdale (@petalshed 79k on IG).
