Looking for a way to add cool colors and patterns into your next knitting project? This video for how to knit the brick stitch breaks down just how easy adding a little oomph to your project can be.

Gorgeous! I've always been nervous to try 2 strand knitting, but this looks pretty simple. Can't wait to give this a try in a swatch!
