Take your Time

*Sometimes, all we need is a bit more time. A bit more time to knit and relax before jumping on a hard task... A bit more time before finishing a pattern draft... Or perhaps just some time off. Whatever it is... It's OK. Take your time and breathe.* **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). Shown in size 3 on a 35” (88 cm) bust.

The brioche stitch opens up much more than if you use a heavily plied yarn. If you want something more bouncy than the drape shown here, go for a plied yarn! But make sure you check gauge carefully.* Needles: US 2½ (3 mm) and US 2 (2.75 mm) circular needles, at least 32" (80 cm) long. Other notions: 5 buttons, approx. 12-15 mm diameter. Stitch markers, stitch holders, tapestry needle. **GAUGE** 20 sts and 30 rows to 4" (10 cm) in Brioche stitch on US 2½ (3 mm) needles after blocking.
