Brioche Chic by Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark
A modern take on brioche stitch with gorgeous wearable garments and accessories that knitters will love. Knitters will create striking colorwork and beautiful brioche cable designs with Brioche Chic. Author Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark offers a solid introduction to brioche knitting and a collection of 22 garments and accessories for women and men, including hats, scarves, cowls, mittens, pullovers, vests, and cardigans. Striking brioche stitch designs that are not overwhelming or full of complicated techniques will reel in readers to this fun style of knitting. Starting with the basics, Brioche Chic offers mini collections of garments revolving around a specific set of techniques. Basic brioche knitting starts the first section, as Mercedes shows how the basic rib pattern can be adapted to simple motifs, lace, and various textures. Later, she offers more complex designs such as cables and various types of two-color brioche. Some of the featured garments are all-over brioche, while others integrate brioche with stockinette stitch for more streamlined, flattering designs."Well, let me tell you, this book leaves you fearless when it comes to the ever-so-intimating Brioche stitch" --Dishcloth Diva Knits On
"Brioche Chic isn't just a pattern book. It's a book that takes you from A to Z in the fascinating technique of brioche knitting. Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark covers basic brioche stitches, preferred cast-on and bind-off methods, increases and decreases in brioche, reading brioche charts, 2 color brioche knitting, and brioche cables. This is a book that can really walk you through a new technique from absolute beginner to advanced-level work." --Poetry in Yarn
"Brioche can be a complex subject, and Mercedes breaks down the process of creating lovely one and two-colored brioche in simple, easier to comprehend bits. The book itself is bright, light and cheerful--which would make it a terrific gift for a knitter on your list who is ready to move into a new technique--with very clear illustrations, many charts (love that!) and excellent photography of the garments and details." --Mode Knit
"Brioche Chic is a beautiful collection of brioche stitch knitting patterns and instructions." --Ewe Ewe
"As you will find in all good technique-based knitting books, the first chapter focuses on understanding terms and techniques. Excellent line drawings demonstrate the yarn and stitch manipulations while close-up photos provide examples of finished fabrics utilizing the specified techniques." --Two Sides Two Points
"This book is a great go-to if you're new to brioche knitting, but the patterns are unusual and pretty enough that even if you're comfortable with the basics already you'll want to check this book out. Once you start working with these cool techniques and patterns you just might be hooked, too." --Knitting.About.com
"I have experience knitting basic brioche, but hadn't thought it was really possible to use the technique for anything other than scarves until this book." --Little Acorn Creations
"I LOVE this book. First, it breaks brioche down into very simple steps--much like how I teach it. And second, it doesn't bombard you with unneeded information. Those who have taken my class can attest for my dislike of frivolous-information-bombardment." --Digital Nabi
"First I feel the need to discuss just how easy this book makes brioche knitting. Brioche Chic taught me how to brioche knit in 20 minutes." --Unapologetic Knitter
"This book will help you take the brioche stitch to the next level, where you cable brioche, make traveling stitches with brioche, knit two colors with brioche, and sometimes use those techniques together." --My Central Jersey's "In Stitches" Column
