Plain Brioche Stitch

[silverapple127]

does any one know how to do double Brioche Stitch ?

[briochestitch]

I live in the Netherlands and the "van" is the Dutch word for "from". Sorry about that, I just read right over it.

Row 1 (WS): *k1, yf sl1yo, rep van *. whats the meaning of van?

[briochestitch]

The other technique is known as fisherman's rib or knit one below. The end result is the same; however, when I knit one below the tension is much looser.

Hello Brioche, I got your book but I knit it wrong. In anothe book I saw instructions said to pick up the stitch UNDERNEATH the stitch on the needle (alternate with the slip stitch). Is this another method for doing the same thing (knitting together the knit and yo) or does the result vary?

I have KNITTING BRIOCHE - just got it the other day & was looking for more visuals to back it up. Excellent book to get you started & this video really helped me understand the logic & rhythm of the stitch. Funny to learn that the poster of this video is the same person who wrote the book I just got!! :)

What is the stitch multiple for brioche stitch?

[uberZanneth]

So, I tried it and now I have less stitches than I started with. What do you do when you turn it around to do the next row?

[briochestitch]

I just finished writing the book "Knitting Brioche". It has step by step instructions about one and two color brioche knitting. I suggest you get a copy and hopefully all of your questions will be answered.

this is a great demonstration! I also followed your website and was able to knit the plain brioche. Now I would like to do the "no decrease decrease" but some how can't get it! I had trouble with the "sl1 wyif". Result was I didn't decrease any number of stitches at all! AAA please help me with the "sl1 wyif, k1" please!!! Thanks a lot!!!

[briochestitch]

When you work this decrease you are not decreasing stitches but the area between the stitches is highly reduced pulling in the fabric.

It looks pretty complex for me, but I'd love to try it!

Is the very first row (the set up row?) the same as any other??

[briochestitch]

In English knitting terminology, yarn "forward" means that you bring the yarn toward youself, not away. It does not refer to the front or public side of the piece you are working on.

[WaterFor3st]

Oh. Thanks for the video. I had problems with this stitch and I just didn't know what I was doing wrong but I had the working yarn on the wrong side. You say "forward" so I had the yarn in front of the work, away from me. but you have it in the back.

[Scoochy1956]

Wow!  Thank you! Easily understandable, fairly good video quality.

I keep ending up with an extra single stitch when I turn around. Any tips?

Thanks for posting!

[briochestitch]

It sounds like you are not ending each row with a brk - meaning you have to knit the last stitch and its yarnover together. These two loops can appear to be two different stitches at the end of the row but you must be sure and knit them together. I hope this solves your dilemma.

[Sherpol]

this video is great.. at the end of the row do you turn it over and do the exact same thing or do you do it backwards? or another way? i'm a bit confused about that..also to start do you do anything different or do you just start that pattern right after casting on? thanks so much

[bbyriceball101]

I'm confused about this as well. I am also unclear on HOW you are starting the row.
