Een woord van de schrijfster:

Brioche is a big thing in the knitting world. If you do a quick search online, you will find lots of garments and accessories with intricate curved stitch patterns. There is a technique to follow: You have exact rules of how to place the stitches, change colors, make increases, and shape the lines. Crochet does not have all those possibilities, yet there are still ways to achieve the brioche look.

Brioche knitting is defined as a family of knitting patterns involving tucked stitches. These stitches can be either yarn overs knitted together with a slipped stitch from the previous row, or tucked stitches may also be made by knitting into the row below. In brioche knitting, a second layer is created in front of the first layer, and the stitch patterns resemble an array of arches.

And, it seems, you can achieve the same effect in crochet.

I have been developing brioche crochet technique for several years. It all started with an overlay mandala with two colors to imitate the brioche look. Then a few other projects were designed for working in the round and rows with chain spaces, for an airy version of brioche. I have also devised a number of crochet stitches, involving increases and decreases.

This book is my own interpretation of brioche crochet, and it uses my own system of crochet stitches and techniques.

Happy crocheting!
