Tweed is a fun pillow worked in a combination of brioche and garter stitch forming a basketweave surface.

This is a beginner brioche project, it is actually a “didactic” pattern to learn how to work two-color brioche worked flat. No increases or decreases are used, but only plain two-color brioche stitch worked flat.

Finished size: 40 x 40 cm (16 x 16”).
