Knit Broiche in the round (contintental)

a clearer version of knitting brioche in the round, using knit(or purl) into the stitch below. requires a set up row of K1P1 rib, and even number of stitches, also works if knitting flat. Uses Finish-style purl, continental knit - note this is the knit into the stitch below (k1b) method of working brioche

This is harly a brioche stitch, but rather a simple 1/1 rib. Still useful to learn how to rib in the round in the continental style.

Did you watch the entire video, the first round is a set up round which is as you say 1x1 rib, but the next round if you look closely is worked by knitting the knits into the stitch below not into the stitch on the needle, The round after that is worked by purling the purls into the stitch below. Perhaps you didn't watch the whole video and didn't see the written instructions?

What you knit in this video is the Fisherman Rib, which is related to the Brioche stitch and results in a very similar fabric, with a different, more simple technique.

The brioche stitch, however, requires that the slipped stitch from previous row be knit/purled together with its yarnover.

I hope this clarifies my previous comment! :-)

No this is Brioche stitch, by knitting (or purling) into the stitch below it has the same structural result as slipping a stitch and creating a yarn over, and then on the next row knitting(or purling) the stitch with its yarn over. There are always many different ways in which to achieve a result .. and this is but one of many ways to knit Brioche. Once knit you would not be able to tell any difference in fabrics produced in either manner.

Please post a video showing your technique :-)

I love the way you purl in continental. Can you please show how to do it in your style. It is hard for me to purl continental

[stell66]

yes !

I have a range of videos here,

search for 'continental purl variation - Finish'

and you will find it

Lovely, clear, demo. This helped me sooo much. Thanks for taking the time to upload this video.

You might want to edit your tags or title to show that you are using the k1b (knit 1 below ) method of doing brioche just to help people who are doing a search.

Thank you very much for the tutorial:) I was just looking for this style of brioche stitch (knit 1 below) with DPNs and didn't know how to achieve without knitting a reverse side as on normal needles!:)) This video clarified my problem:)) thank you again:) <3

Wow...that was difficult to follow :-( I just knit fisherman's rib in the Eastern European style instead.

Thanks this is wonderfully clear. I have been learning Brioche using the yarn over method -- and I keep making mistakes and having to frog. This looks fool proof. The only thing is -- what do you do at the beginning of the new round where you switch to either purl or knit -- is it obvious when you get to that point? I will have to try it.

Wonderful video. Thanks for taking it slow enough to really see it and adding the set up row.
