The Brioche Stitch is a combination of stitches that makes a nice, thick, double-sided fabric. In this video we cover both the simple Brioche Stitch, and the two-color Brioche Stitch. Written instructions for this stitch are available for free on my website here:
verypink.com/2011/08/31/brioch...
This video demonstrates how to work the stitch combination. If you need a clear explanation of any of the individual stitches used in Brioche stitch, you'll find my videos on these stitches here:

I KNEW VeryPink Knits would show how to do this stitch with the hand, yarn and speech being in unison. There are SO many tutorials on this stitch where the instructions and what we are being shown are nothing much like each other. I'm really grateful to you. God Bless You.

With the brioche stitch, you can really only string a "proactive" lifeline, not a "reactive" one. That means the only way you can really string a successful lifeline is when you string it through the stitches that are on the needle. Many people string lifelines every couple of inches or so, just to be safe.

I have found your instructions, for two colour brioche stitch, to be the most clear that I have seen so far. Just the simpe step of not turning for the foundation row was enough to not get into a mess. I am successful at last. Many thanks.

Thank you, I had thought that brioche stitch was going to be super complicated, but you've made it look accessible. So far I've watched the video and now I am itching to try it. I guess that will be the proof of the pudding, backed up by your written instructions, also. Thank you again.

Thank you, Staci. I was mainly interested in learning the Brioche stitch so that I could make a lofty, warm winter scarf. The one-color Brioche stitch instructions will be fine for that purpose, and I will use a variegated yarn for extra interest as you suggested. Your PDF instruction page loaded straight into my Adobe Reader with one click. So I'm all set.

Firstly, thank you so much for such excellent quality videos!! I printed your instructions and am knitting while viewing the video - using both guarantees successful knitting! I would love to see a video from the very beginning for two -color brioche. As a fairly new knitter, it's tough to cast-on, join the yarn and know exactly what it should look like. But getting past the first part and knitting in pattern is so rewarding! Can't wait to see the fluffy scarf I will end up with.

You can bind off brioche stitch by working pretty much a normal row, but add pulling one stitch over the other (like a normal BO). Continue the k2togs as you did, knit the stitches you would normally slip, and bind-off as you work through that row. Hope that helps!

I'm excited to try the brioche stitch, I recently learned about it from a yarn maker at the farmer's market. I've been knitting for years and I've never attempted it.

Joan - you can bind-off the brioche stitch (one or two color) by working a regular row of the pattern, and binding-off (passing one stitch over the other) as you work across the row.

@crispappletart 11 жыл бұрын

I think it's a great video, as are all of your videos. Very high quality. The only difference I can tell is you're working with thinner yarn on smaller needles, as opposed to the bulky yarn you usually demonstrate with. I suppose that makes it slightly harder to see what is going on. But your explanation was still clear and just as helpful as I've come to expect.

Yes - the setup row does end up being an increase row. Then, subsequent rows have you both increasing and decreasing, keeping the stitch count the same.

I just want to say, you are just awesome. I had some issues with figuring out 2 color brioche, because somewhere I got lost remembering which row I was on. You completely answered that question with "always start with your contrasting color, if both are on the same side, and then catch up with your main color". Thank you a thousand times! Little intimidated with that yarn over with the purl side, worried it winds up being a double yarn over, does it?

I hope you find how you're adding a stitch so you can move on to Row 4! :)

@verypinkknits 12 жыл бұрын

@11Wizardry9911 The stitches that look like yarn overs are made by doing the "yf" and "yb" movements of the yarn. You slip the stitch with the contrasting color (cc) just like you would slip any other stitch - move it from the left needle to the right, without working it.

Yes - the first stitch of each row is a slipped stitch, and it's slipped knit-wise. Not a huge deal, if you slip knit-wise or purl-wise. Slipping it knit-wise just creates a twist on the selvage edge.

I've found it's best to work the BO row like any other row of the pattern (including yarn-overs), but bind-off as you go along. That will keep your stitch count the same, and make the BO look better. Good luck!

I've experimented a bit with 2 color brioche and find that making a 'normal' scarf this way is really hard for me because of the odd 4 row repeat. Knitting a round/tube scarf with two colors is a lot easier, excpecially if you can do both colors at once. I think the end result is cooler than a normal brioche scarf too, bc it's round and reversable.

@11Wizardry9911 Have you downloaded the free pattern that accompanies this video? The pattern, as written, maintains the same number of stitches from row to row. "YF" and "YB" mean "yarn forward" and "yarn back", which means to pull the working yarn forward between the two needles, or back between the two needles. The link to the pattern is available below the video in the video description.

You would need to CO 49 stitches to work the pattern as I've written it, but you'll also have to do more modifications because my pattern is knit flat, and I'm guessing you're planning to knit socks in-the-round. You might want to search Ravelry to see if someone else already has a pattern out there for Brioche Stitch socks - that would be easier. :)
