Simple Brioche Mitts

The Brioche Stitch is a fantastic choice for knitters seeking texture and elasticity in their projects.

Renowned knitting pioneer Elizabeth Zimmermann affectionately dubbed this stitch “Prime Rib” due to its rich, inviting texture.

This knitty creation is an effortlessly simple mitt, designed in the shape of a basic rectangle. By sewing up the sides, you create a cozy covering for your hands while leaving a designated hole for the thumb—making it perfect for beginners and experienced knitters alike. With just a few stitches and an easy sewing technique required, this project is an excellent way to explore the beauty of Brioche Stitch while crafting a functional accessory.

If you’re looking for a fun, engaging knitting project that combines style and comfort, this mitt pattern is ideal for you. Dive into the world of Brioche Stitch and create beautiful, stretchy mitts that will keep your hands warm and fashionable on chilly days!
