brioche stitch

Learn to Knit: Brioche Refreshers Continental and English Styles

Sometimes we all just need a refresher or quick reference guide for brioche stitches. If this is the case for you then these are the videos you should bookmark. 

The techniques covered here are:

  • Brioche Knit (brk) 
  • Brioche Purl (brp) 
  • Slip 1 Yarnover (slyo) 
  • Brioche Increase (brkyobrk) 
  • Brioche Right-Leaning Decrease (DEC2R) 
  • Brioche Left-Leaning Decrease (DEC2L) 

Brioche Knitting Refresher Continental Style

 

Brioche Knitting Refresher English Style 

If you want to learn more brioche try my free Brioche Basics Class here.

Or if you feel ready to take on a garment you can join the upcoming Brutach KAL here.

Or try a Brioche Cardigan here or a two colour Brioche Shawl here. 

Learn to Knit: 2 Colour Flat Brioche

This video will explain how to work the brioche stitch, flat using 2 colours.

With two colour brioche you work each side twice, sliding the stitches back to the start of the needle (circular needle is needed) to work the second colour.

On each side of your work it looks almost identical but the colour of the brioche knit columns on that side will be the dominate side. For this reason instead of labelling the sides right and wrong side we will refer to them as Dark Side (DS) and Light Side (LS).

If you are new to Brioche I'd suggest checking out my free Brioche Workshop here:
https://stolen-stitches.teachable.com/p/brioche-basics/

 

Brioche Knit (brk)

Brioche Purl (brp)

When it follows brk: Bring yarn to front of work, slip stitch purlwise, bring yarn to back of work over needle to work next stitch which creates a yarnover and position yarn to work brk.
When it follows brp: Slip stitch purlwise, bring yarn from front to back over needle and back between needles to create yarnover and position yarn to work brp.

Learn to Knit: Brioche Knit (brk)

When you are working the Brioche Stitch you alternate between Brioche Knit (brk) and slip one, yarnover (sl1yo).

When worked flat you work the same on both sides of your work, working the brk into the stitch that had been slipped on the other side.

However if you are working the Brioche Stitch in the round you will alternate between a round worked with the brk stitch and a round worked with a brp stitch.

You can find the video for the brp here.

Brioche worked flat in rows in shown here.

This is how to work the Brioche Knit Round/Row:
