Knitting Help - Brioche Stitch

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ส.ค. 2011
- 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:
verypink.com/category/techniques/
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.
Super helpful video tutorial covering 1-color, 2-color and life lines all in about 6 mins! My kind of tutorial. Thank you
Claire McCarth
I have had “Learn Brioche” on my list of what to do for the year for a few years now! I was just under the impression that it was too hard...Thank you so much for all of your tutorial videos! They are my go to for things I forget and for new stuff I’m trying to master! Thank you, thank you thank 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.
I'm so glad you did a video and written pattern on the Brioche Stitch. I've been trying to learn it using other videos, but haven't had any luck. I can usually follow along with your tutorials. I'll let you know how I do.
Thank you very much for the help! BTW, I absolutely love your videos, they are very helpful without being plain or boring, they're a lot of fun to watch!
@11Wizardry9911 I don't remember the brand of yarn that I used in this demonstration, but it is 100% wool, worsted weight. You can use any yarn you like for this stitch. All of the details in how to work it are available in the free pattern. Just follow the link I provided below the video, in the video description.
This video is meant to demonstrate a combination of stitches - and not the stitches themselves. If you need help with a slow demonstration of any of the stitches used in Brioche stitch, I have clear, slow videos for the knit stitch, purl stitch, k2tog, p2tog, etc. I also offer a free downloadable pattern to accompany this video (link is in the video description field), that should help both newer and experienced knitters with this technique.
Love this fabric and its fun to make !
Needed a refresher ! Thanks !
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.
That was EXCELLENT. I saw this stitch in a hat I want to try and duplicate and thought it looked sort of like 1x1 rib, but not quite. Thanks for making this video.
another brilliant video. i am practicing on a pot-holder, then on to a free Ravelry pattern for a hat. fingers crossed! if people would watch the videos, read the written instructions, then refer back to the videos as/if needed, they wouldn't have so many repetitive questions. i know i could not be as far along with my knitting skills, as i am, without your tutelage. thank you so much, Staci. : )
Thank you so much. Always so clear and helpful. I love your videos.
I always know I can come to your channel for any new technique I want to know about. Thank you!
Thank you, this video is very helpful. I always enjoy your videos and find your explanations so easy to understand. If I have the choice between VeryPink Knits and another video, I always watch yours because I know it will be good--to the point but a thorough demonstration. 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.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. You did an excellent job. It finally clicked in my brain.
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!
@TheMaureen1952 If you look at the video description (the text directly under the video) there is a link to my website. On that page you will find a download link to the written instructions for the Brioche Stitch.
thank you for making this video, it's really informative, I already have the pdf printed out but I was having a bit of trouble visualizing the yf.
i've had to take a bit of a break from both knitting and spinning due to repetitive stress injury on my right hand....its nice to jump back into knitting with Brioche! Thank you for the pattern and the tutorial!
Your video was very informative on using the two different yarns..Thank you..I had no problem with the video quality or seeing the stitches as you were knitting...
Yes - written instructions are available for this stitch. Just follow the link to my website in the video description field, just below the video.
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.
@11Wizardry9911 Did you see that I have provided a free PDF pattern download to accompany this video? That will show you where each of the stitches go. :) The link to the pattern is available just below the video in the video description area. There really aren't any yarn overs in Brioche Stitch.
I demonstrate this in the video - after you yarn-forward, the yarn does go back to work the next stitch, but not between the needles. Instead, the yarn is "flopped" over the right needle. Hope that helps!
would love to see from cast on
C. Lynn Higginbotham so many dont but i found a vid that does start from CO 😊
C. Lynn Higginbotham im actually tryn the 2 colour brioche in the round for a hat following a pattern but just learning how so been searchn and this is day 2 im attempting but ima get it thn make a very discriptive vid tutorial for others like us
Jessica... do you have a link to the video?
Zac Alling here you go th-cam.com/video/4E0rLm3_jXU/w-d-xo.html
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.
Just found you today. Great video. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your answer, I was doing a different edge with few stiches at every side so this is why I didn't need it!
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?
@charlieheartsmusic You start with the long-tail cast on...I have a video for that, which can be found if you use the search on my channel page. Also, if you follow the link to the free pattern download on my website, it will be easier for you to work this stitch.
You are SO good!
I was taught YO sl1, K2tog (after setup row) and it makes a beautiful edge that way.
@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.
What is point 'yb and yf' ? Isn't it really yarn over? What do I consider the front? Set up row or row no1?
@mersylla Yes - this info is available in the free pattern download (a link to this is provided in the video description, just below the video). You'll want to cast on an odd number of stitches.
I'm sorry you're disappointed. Most viewers are happy with the quality of my videos. They are all in HD, but it's unlikely that you're viewing it in HD unless you adjust your settings. Additionally, you can adjust the viewing screen to full screen for a bigger view.
This technique is a combination of stitches, and for intermediate knitters. If you need help with any one of the individual stitches used, I have a video for each one of the stitches, demonstrated clearly and slowly. Good luck!
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.
Is this available in slow motion? I am having a very difficult time with brioche. I found a beautiful cowl pattern with curved sections like leaves and I can't even get the regular stitches down. Do you have any more tips? Thank you Stacy your the 1st source I always go to.
@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.
Thank you. I found it in the video more info drop down arrow. Thank you for your reply. I already printed it and ready to start!
Thank you so very much!!!! I am thrilled to try it out :)
Thank you for the free pattern.
If you click the link in the video description field (just below the video) it will take you to my website where you can download the free instructions that accompany this pattern. Then you'll be able to clearly see the exact stitches, and the order. Good luck!
i can't wait untll my skills are good enough to watch tv whilst knitting hehe it's still new to me. this was a great vid thanks
sei bravissima, grazie per il spiegazione
@sstitanlady Yes, that is what the pattern says, that's correct.
@ladymistreschristine I'm not familiar with the stitch you're talking about, but it sounds like it would end up looking a lot like this. Knitting the stitch below is going to stretch that stitch, much like slipping stitches does in this pattern.
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.
If you click the link just below the video, in the video description field, that will take you to my website, to the correct page. At the top of that page you'll see the link "free Ravelry download". You can click that for your free written instructions.
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!
@11Wizardry9911 Yes, but then you're knitting two together (k2tog) the same number of times in the same row, keeping your stitch count the same.
@StephAteYourEars Hmm...without actually seeing your work, I can't tell you exactly what is going wrong...but if you're ending up with an extra stitch, I have to guess that you're adding a yarn over or missing a k2tog somewhere. I hope you find how you're adding a stitch so you can move on to Row 4! :)
@TineeTerror To start the brioche stitch, I used the long tail cast on. TH-cam won't let me give you a direct link here in the comments, but you can see my video by searching for "Knitting Help - Long-Tail Cast-On" on my channel page.
I would love to do this for a scarf, but how many stitches should I have? Multiples of 4?
Have you visited the link in the video description field (just below the video) to the free download? The setup row is explained clearly in the download. Good luck!
You are the best !!!
Hi Staci I love your videos. They are so helpful and your patterns are great as well. I was wondering if you would consider making a video on doing brioche in the round? I cannot seem to find any helpful videos on here and written patterns confuse me as well.
@ladymistreschristine Yes. That is the same stitch. It is K1B knit one below which is similar to brioche stitch but just another way of doing it. Lily Chin explains that in her power cables video.
Hi Stacy. I really like the two color for a scarf. What weight of yarn will be best to make a scarf ?
1st attempt on your brioche (1 color) pattern. What are the instructions to bind off??? does it depend on the row? im a begginer i can read patterns well and my tension is even. but im not advanced enough to figure out how to bind off unless its specifically stated.
Thank you so much!!!! tryin to get my hygee (sp?) on lol.
@xbbythi In the video, I demonstrate Rows 1 and 2. The rest of the rows are just those two rows repeated over and over. Hope that helps.
Thank you for this video - still one of the best on TH-cam for brioche stitch 10 years later!!! In your opinion, are brioche and fisherman's rib interchangeable?
Yes, different techniques to create the same stitch.
What adjustments do I need to make, when holding yarn in left hand and knitting continental? Thx
can you please make tutorial for brioche that arching to the right or left, like wavy one?
I absolutely live this pattern! So easy and te result is very cushy and warm. I was wondering whether you know how to do this using magic loop? If not that could be your next video! :)
Can you do a video on the really cool cable designs people have started doing in the two tone brioche? I would love to know how it is done!
How do you bind this type of stitch off?
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. :)
I have used your video and instructions to learn this stitch... once I got into the groove of it, it went really well. Thank-you
I have been wondering. If I want to knit this stitch in the round would I still cast on an odd number of stitches?
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.
Thank you. :)
All of the details about working this stitch is available in the free pattern download. The link is just below the video in the video description field. We cast-on an odd number of stitches.
I have a problem reading my two colour brioche - never know whether to do a purl row or knit row if i put it down. Help would be appreciated
How would you do it in the round?
I would also like to have written directions for this very question.
What should I do to the first stitch of each row if I want a chain edge instead?
Any way you could elaborate on the brioche stitch? Like how to do it in the round? And how to go from brioche knitting back to regular knitting?
Thanks for the cool video! I have one question though - how do you count the rows in brioche sticking? Do you count the vertical Vs, or does it work differently?
Hi Staci, cracking video. Absolutely fab, as always. I was hoping you might be able to rack your brains and tell me what the green yarn is that you
I have never tested out working decreases with this stitch, so I can't really answer your question. I know there is information out there on decreasing in Brioche if you search for it. Personally, I think this stitch is best used in pieces that don't require decreasing, since the decreases do mess up the flow of the intricate rib.
thx for your time and help . cuz you started in the middle is there no set up row ?
i see it is on the pattern , Adonai bless you Shalom
Hello, when working two colours do you purl with both colours and then turn and knit both colour rows, or alternate between knit and purl each row? (so knit the green row, knit the purple row, turn, purl the green row, purl the purple row, turn...)
i'm sorry but i want to know how did you start it ? i mean the piece that you've showed at beginning of the video how did you knit it ? i need to know please
Hind Ben if you're okay with written instruction the link at the end is to this video's written .pdf counterpart which is pretty straight forward and easy to visualize in my opinion. link: www.ravelry.com/dls/71/75023
@Very Pink Knits Stacey can you please do 2 color brioche in slow motion. It's so confusing! And how to decrease and increase? Its popular in alot of patterns like Andrea Mowry and even fadeing is difficult as a Adventurous Beginner knitter! Thank you!!
I wish you would demonstrate your "knitting" slower. It's great that you know how to knit and are able to do it so quickly, however for someone such as myself, who is a novice, I find slower "knitting" demos easier to understand and less frustrating. Any chance you have a slower demo on how to stitch brioche for the beginners?
Hi! I have been trying the Brioche stich rfom the last 2 days and have had to unravel my swatch like 10 times! I feel so stupid!
I am able to do the yarn over, slip as if to purl and knit the Brioche stich.
But I am getting terribly confused at the ends. Sometimes I land up with 2 stiches before the Bricoh. Sometimes the stich at the end is forming such a large loop (despite me doing the slips at the start for selvedge) Sometimes I have no stich left at the end to knit. Just WHAT am I doing wrong? Please help!
how do you use lifelines in brioche? with all the yarn overs, slipped stitches and k2togs, i don't know where to thread the scrap yarn through.
I'm new to knitting (my mum taught me when I was only wee), and I was having a bit of trouble following and seeing what you were doing. I think it would really help if you could zoom in a bit and maybe slow down a hair for those first couple of stitches?
The two colour one did look fantastic and I'd like to try it if I can find a video that's a bit more dummy-proof! :-)
What’s the difference between fisherman’s rib and brioche? Is the end result the same or is one better than the other?
Thanks
Can you please do the basket weave stitch or the zigzag rib or
For the set up row do I cast it on as if to double knit? or do i just Longtail double stranded?
I love this. I was getting tired of just regular stockinette. So thank you. But how do you cast off with this?
earlandbob - your best bet for binding-off is to bind off “in pattern”. With the brioche stitch, that means to work a normal row, but bind off as you work along. That will keep you from increasing in the BO row.
Thank you so much! I'm in love with this stitch!
Video a bit quick and needs zooming in to see what you actually doing.
This video is meant to demonstrate the combination of stitches - if you need help on any individual stitch (knit, purl, k2tog, etc) I have slower demonstration videos for each of those.
I had trouble following (and every other tut on brioche) because Im a continental knitter. Maybe thats what you're having trouble seeing? I think it might be a little different. Correct me if Im wrong, but i think theres also a setup row that you yarn over, slip and just knit one, to get the brioche started.
I also have a question about binding off this pattern. How would you bind off in the pattern rather than just binding off knitwise the whole way? Would I still yarn over? Thanks for your help!
Ive seen a pattern that looks really similar to this one... it's a knit one, knit the stitch under, repeat. Idk if the two color works with this but i've made a scarf that looks just like this and i was wondering if this was the same type of thing? Thanks :D
Please show us how to bind off 2 ville brioch stitch?
I am strugglin'! I watched the video three or four times (and I will probably continue 'til I get it), but my brain can't wrap around the fact that we're knitting two together and keeping the same amount of stitches on the needles. We use different techniques (though I WISH I could figure yours our--it's so efficient) and I can't figure if you're knitting with the yarn in front or if you're using your usual quick-knitting technique. I gotta figure there's something else going on though. My work keeps shrinking and I feel like a crazy person. Lol.
There is a free download that accompanies this video that spells out each step! Be sure you're working from those instructions.
Love your green yarn, is it still available?
how do you decrease in pattern if you are making a v neck sweater?Thank you in advance
