Hi everyone! Thank you so much for dropping by to watch this week’s Midweek Ramble. As you probably already know, I love a good cardigan and these are seven in particular that I would love to knit for myself. I so hope you enjoy! (BTW: always watch to the end. 😊) All the links are in the description or you can find them here: www.woolneedleshands.com/show-links/may10 ❤

Brioche tuck is a type of stitch family that encompasses brioche, half fisherman’s rib and fisherman’s rib. I’m sure there are more, but that’s why you’re seeing that tag. Not sure if you ended up learning that, but just wanted to respond. I’m knitting the stria now and have added more from this list in my want to knit list!

@numerosraros Жыл бұрын

fisherman's rib and brioche are different techniques that get the same squishy fabric as a result! in both techniques you are working half of the stitches of every row, in brioche you do yarn overs and in fisherman's rib you knit in the stitch below in every row, so it's reversible. half fisherman's rib is the same as half brioche, basically what you do is knit the right side of the fabric in pattern, while in the back you just do ribbing, so no reversible (tho the wrong side doesnt look that bad imo). and i have the same sensation about raglan cardis, i don't know why but i feel like they're always this close to just fall off, so i'm glad to see i'm not alone in that haha will have all your ideas and tips in mind because at the moment i have no cardi in my wardrobe whatsoever and i started to think i need to fix that problem asap. greetings, hope you have a great week!

@catblues8645 Жыл бұрын

Thanks, came here to say the same thing :D I was kind of internally screaming "It's the saaaaame!". So yes the techniques are different but the resulting fabric is exactly the same, and there is fisherman's rib = full brioche and half fisherman's rib = half brioche. I love the squishiness and texture but it takes AGES to knit as you need more rows to gain length than normal stockinette.

@numerosraros Жыл бұрын

@@catblues8645 hahah yes i feel you, I think it's easy to get confused because the way you knit them is completely different, but in the end you can use whichever you prefer (minding the wayb you work the incs and decs) and i think that's pretty neat. it is such a drag tho, you can be knitting for two hours and see your garment grow 1.5 cms, really demotivating hahaha

I'm making the Stria cardigan right now and its so so easy. When you do half fisherman's rib, all you do is one row you knit, the next row you knit into the stitch below and then purl the next stitch normally and repeat. That's all there is to it! Brioche is fun once you get the hang of it. I made the Feel Good Shawl my Andrea Mowery and it was my very first brioche project. It scared me too at first, but you kind of get into the rhythm of it and it can get relaxing. You should totally give brioche a try!

I've just finished the Champagne Cardigan in a cotton/merino yarn and I adore it! I am a very large size and her creations have a perfect fit, I'm now half way through the Elizabeth Blouse. It's true everyone seems to be making her patterns, but it's because they are good. I wouldn't say complicated, but rather she doesn't hold your hand with techniques , she presumes you know what she's talking about or are capable of finding it online.

I'm so mad at myself for the year i didn't have this gorgeous sweater in my wardrobe! It took me a month to knit and when i was done i have never been prouder of something i knit!

Brioche/tuck is typically a fisherman's rib, where you knit certain stitches in the row below. Brioche itself though is really easy, and I would totally recommend making a cardigan because it's much easier (in my mind) to knit brioche flat! It's like knitting ribbing without actually purling.

@likeavirshin 4 ай бұрын

Brioche and fisherman's rib are the exact same. The technique vary, which can change tension but the end result is the same. Half fisherman's rib is easier because you do the stitch pattern every other row.

Brioche is a skill-technique that I have on my to learn list for the coming year. I don´t actually see a ton of projects with it (except for some hats and a couple of shawls) that I am interested in, but it is a stitch technique worth knowing. I like the Galloway and the Ozetta cardis very much. I plan to cast on a cardigan using fisherman´s rib in Palette yarn soon (after I finish some WIPs of course). I love cardigans. They are essential wardrobe items for me, and I would love one in every color of the rainbow (that´s how much I like and use them).

I recently finished the Field Day Cardigan by Ozetta and I can say, hands down!, it is the most wonderful cardigan I've ever owned or knit. The construction is ingenious and so well-thought-out. It is structured but not overly so, and with so many classic details. It also sold me completely on knitting the button band as you go to integrate it into the flow of the body lines and is just *chef's kiss* perfection because it makes it so sturdy. Can't recommend highly enough

@kimberlyinsigne3332 Жыл бұрын

I made the Galloway five years ago now (wow!) in the same color palette as the blue sample as I was also in love with it! I was a newer knitter then and didn't quite understand ease, so I made a size with only 3" ease instead of the 7" shown on the model. So it does indeed fall off my shoulders a bit! However, I still love it so much. It was fun to knit, you should totally go for it!!

Love this list and glad someone was able to articulate what I love/dislike about some cardigans. Regarding PetiteKnit patterns, I know some may not want to hear that name, but I love her patterns. I love the simple and timeless style of her patterns and several Scandinavian designers and I also love how she/evolve whether it's the style or size. I'm sure you'll love the Champagne Cardigan. I knit that earlier this year and then knit the Agnete cardigan and they are beautiful. The elements of the Champagne cardigan makes the knit so worth it. If there were a way to improve the Champagne cardigan, it would be to integrate the double-knitted button band similar to the Agnete. I'm currently working to see how I can modify that pattern - it's such a beautiful cardigan.

I was determined to make the Satellite shawl and that required learning brioche. I’m relatively new to knitting (only a couple years in) and I was able to do it by following the Nancy Marchant lessons on Craftsy on Brioche (recommended by Andrea Mowry). It was hard, and I made a really ugly sampler that I had to tear back multiple times, but it was systematic and thorough and by the time I got through it I could brioche. The satellite shawl was a piece of cake after that sampler 😂 it’s actually really fun!

@noemyrosario Жыл бұрын

Hi! I also feel confused with Ravelry tags, they don't have tags for half fisherman's rib or only brioche, so all patterns with stitches that look like a fluffy rib, uses the tag brioche-tuck. So join the team! 😂 If is of any help, tuck is a reference to stiches worked in one ore more rows below the one you are currently knitting. Go ahead and try brioche stitch, you will love it! Begin with one-color and knitted flat, from that you will only want to have brioche projects on your needles. Love your videos, thank you for all of them 😍❤

I am big on cardigans! I get cold quick! as a costumer/knitter, sweaters falling from your shoulders has also to do with the width of your shoulders and how your posture is (anatomy makes a difference) Folk need to do correct measurements especially across the front shoulder to shoulder, and back shoulder to shoulder. two different measurements!

I'm not a brioche knitter. But, The Sockmatician has a video out where he makes doing brioche a lot easier. No going across twice for each row. I'm not sure how he does it, but he is a genius at knitting. I like all the cardigans you showed. I don't wear cardigans like that just because they do fall off the shoulder and when I need to pull it shut for warmth, you can't. I like the standard cardigan that buttons all the way to the neck. Another great and helpful podcast. I am going to look at the Season's cardigan.

26:19 in regards to your quandary about "brioche - tuck" / fisherman's /half fishersman's rib: I've recently learned that these types of stitch patterns all fall under the larger umbrella of the "Tuck Stitches" category. The "brioche - tuck" tag on Ravelry is a bit confusing because people use that tag for brioche and for any fisherman's rib stitch techniques. But your gut was correct, the Stria cardigan was a fisherman's or half fishermans rib pattern and the other one you referred to, I believe, was also one of fisherman's ribs. I think Nancy Marchant has a book about all the tuck stitches if you wanna do more research. Anyway, hope that helps to satisfy your query if you haven't already found the answer yourself. Now, while I'm here, thanks for the pattern round up, I love cardigans!

I know my limitations. My criteria, simple, easy, no buttons. I do like the stye of Petite Knits and Ozetta. Who knows, maybe my skills will improve.

I get it. Honestly, sometimes it's not even about improving/broadening our skill set. Sometimes it's just about knowing what we like and sticking to it. And that's really cool and very liberating.

WRT brioche, I used to watch a channel by a young French woman (in excellent English) who has designs on Ravelry under the name beecharly. She was adamant brioche was easy, in fact I remember her saying at one point that it was the first way to knit she was taught. I tried to find the video but she has taken much of her content down unfortunately. She does still have some brioche instruction videos (Charlotte and Gus channel) and under one of her designs on Rav (the Tipi shawl) she describes brioche as "...a piece of cake! (pun intended)." That said, I still haven't tried it either....

I feel like I've heard other podcasters talk about frustration with the seasons cardigan...I'm pretttyyyyy sure the button band is knit as you go, but on smaller needles so like separate dpns or something switching every row? I could be wrong but that has put me off of knitting that amazing looking pattern. I have made her field day Cardigan which is stockinette with a knit as you go (with same needle!) And it's lovely. I do have my eyes on a fisherman's rib tho!

The Fangfang is a definite maybe for me. I have a (ridiculous) avoidance thing going on with picking up stitches. I'm better than I was at just doing it, but the acreage involved in the average cardigan buttonband is really off-putting. The Fangfang *looks* as though the buttonband is created at the same time as the rest of the body, which makes it very tempting. I think I also have some yarn in my stash which I could use for it, but I already have several projects ongoing so I really *ought* to hold back for at least a little while. Nobody hold their breath....

I'm currently knitting a hat in fisherman's rib and have been wondering about the differences between fisherman's rib, half fisherman's rib and English rib. Toss in the brioche tuck you mentioned in this video. I haven't found a reasonable answer yet.

Thank you so mcuh for sharing cardigan patterns what you like about a good one. I've made 3 Cocoknits sweaters and love the Franca sweater for the shoulder constrution-won't slide off- and the fit. My daughter stole it she liked it so much. My next cardigan will be the Emma Version C. Check these patterns out! I love them!!
