If you purchase just one book on brioche it should be this one. It is the industry bible on Brioche. Lots of clear photos and a sometimes overwhelming amount of information. If you struggle getting started with this book be sure to check out the author’s brioche website for free additional beginning instruction. This is one of those rare books that everyone of all skill levels can find new things in. I’ve been knitting more than 40 years and brioche is an old friend but I still found new techniques and ideas to add to my repertoire and my student trying brioche for the first time also used this book with just a tiny nudge from me that she could have gotten from the website. Brioche is a fun, rhythmic stitch that can be used in simple projects like scarves or can be used with stitch manipulations like increases, decreases, and cables to create stunning projects. Brioche fabric is delightfully squooshy, beautiful, and well behaved (does not curl). There are, at the time of this review, two followup books on brioche by the same author.Read full review

As a used book, I was very pleased with the condition. It is a wonderfully thorough book teaching a specialized knitting skill with great illustrations. I bought it for one pattern I saw was contained, but I will learn so much more than I knew before and have a great reference for future projects.

This is a wonderful book extremely clear instructions. Lovely color photos and diagrams. Whats really nice about the book is it's discussions of the different types of brioche stitch and new inventive uses. The Author clearly offers many different applications of the brioche stitch. The book was written with love and a care to the audience, with a want of sharing this particular expression of knitting. The book was written for the knitter who wants to try something new and not necessarily conventional.
it has taught my wife to use a new knitting method and she enjoys it very much
