The background music on this video I realize is a bit too loud, so I reposted this video without that music if you prefer to view that one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/b8-WadN_l72-lqc.html

I’m quite pleased to find this, because I’ve been looking at patterns which include brioche stitching, and my Mom who is an excellent knitter said she’d never heard of it. I showed her pictures and she said “isn’t that just fisherman’s rib?”

That is awesome. I was the same way for a long time, seeing both and wondering what the difference was till someone showed me that they are actually the same ... just different .... haha. Happy knitting!!

Thank you for showing these two stitches. I love doing brioche on scarves. I may have to do one in the fisherman's rib to compare. I didn't realize they were just about the same. Thanks!

Yes it’s nice that you can choose which way you make this stitch and you have the same result. Happy knitting.

Truly helpful! I’ve tried brioche a few times and it just didn’t work for me. I couldn’t wrap my mind around it. Your video was super helpful and I greatly appreciate how slow you did it.

Glad it helped! I hope you give it another try. I’m working on a simple brioche scarf now. I’ll have the video up later. But it is such a fun stitch and I love the result.

Nice! (music was a bit distracting, and I didn't see you'd redone the video without it until after). I am always doing a two colour brioche, which definitely requires purling. I've never tried fishermen's rib, but i knew the two techniques produce identical results. I'd like to try fishermen's rib, too; I'm interested to know if the Nancy Marchant twists, turns, leafy stuff, etc. are doable using fishermen's rib technique. Thanks. Btw, there are good videos on how to drop down to a brioche mistake, and ladder back up. Does require a crochet hook. I find it easy, but think it's probably harder if only working in one colour.

Thanks for reaching out. I have not read or tried any of Nancy Marchants techniques. It would be interesting to see if those would work with fisherman’s rib. I’ll have to look into that.

How about the differences in fixing mistakes? Wouldn't fisherman rib be much easier than brioche?

@jacqknits 2 ай бұрын

I agree fisherman's rib may be a bit easier to fix mistakes than brioche. However, I feel that both are kind of hard to frog back and place on your needles when fixing a mistake. When I do either of these stitches, I like to put in place a pro-active life line as I go to make it simple to fix my mistakes that may occur. A video on how to do this is here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jrpoZLV93MiogoE.html

I totally didn't understand anything about that brioche

I do have another video showing how to do the Brioche rib stitch. Perhaps that one may be easier to follow? Here is the link to that video if you want to view that as well: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJydmpql0bXNn58.html
