Description

From the book: "This pattern is similar to other Brioche patterns in that the pattern row incorporates a slip-stitch and a yo. But there the resemblance ends. The slip-stitches which are passed over two subsequent stitches make a diagonal texture pattern. Diagonal Demi-Brioche works well in two colors. It will make either of two differently shaped horizontal stripes, depending on which rows take the contrasting color."
