Dotty Wrist warmers

These wrist warmers are small-format vehicles for learning how to mix garter stitch into a field of brioche columns. These dotty textures are reminiscent of weaving, but with the bounce of brioche.

These same stitches can be used for the Cushiest Cowl on page 12 of MDK Field Guide No. 21: Brioche. No math required!

The three stitch patterns are presented as both written instructions and in charted form. Either way, you’ll learn how to mix garter stitch into brioche with ease.
