  • Brioche Stitch Knitting: Free Brioche Knitting Guide + Patterns Brioche Stitch Knitting: Free Brioche Knitting Guide + Patterns
    Brioche Stitch Knitting: Free Brioche Knitting Guide + Patterns Brioche Stitch Knitting: Free Brioche Knitting Guide + Patterns BRIOCHE STITCH is one of those pattern stitches that seems tricky, but it’s really not. The stitch uses a combination of good old knit stitches, as well as slipped stitches that are paired with yarnovers. Brioche can be worked in the round or flat, and it makes very warm and beautiful garments and accessories. Brioche really shines when worked in two colors, and it’s actually easier to work with two colors instead of one, because the two colors enable you to see the stitches really well from one row to the next. The increases and decreases in brioche knitting are very visible, and they add so much visual interest to the project. I’ve put together this eBook to teach you how to work the brioche stitch, and to give you some patterns to practice with. The patterns go from easy to more advanced, so you can go from one to the next as you become more comfortable with the stitch. Have fun learning the brioche stitch!

Longwood Sport Vertical Stripes Brioche Cowl Designed by Andrea Maglisceau Brioche stripes are easier to achieve than you might think. All you need to know are knit, purl, yarn over, yarn forward slip one, knit two together, and purl two together. Many knitters are stumped by the language unique to this stitch, but replacing “brk,” “brp,” and “yfsl1yo” with basic knitting terms for the same results will have you creating gorgeous two-color accessories in no time. This cowl is worked in the round with only one color at a time, so there’s no stranding.

Those icons of late '60s fashion are back in a big way. Add them to garments, afghans, purses and pillows -- you can even use them for making a necklace! --- In-jean-ious denim is trending strong! Denim and its many forms has been on fashion runways everywhere this season.

  • 2Color Brioche Rib Knitting Tips & Tricks
    2­Color Brioche Rib Knitting Tips & Tricks Where Am I: ● The color last worked is the color of the yarn forwards which appear as cross overs. This will help in determining the next row and whether to slide your stitches or not. ● If you've lost your place and the former rows color still doesn't help, tink back 3 or 4 stitches on the last row and you'll see where you ended. Since these 4 rows are entirely different (color as well as BRK or BRP) you'll easily identify where you let off. The Stitch Pattern ● Think of the row sequence as somewhat of a sandwich ­ Brioche purl rows sandwiched between the Brioche knits Row 1: BRK Row Row 2: BRP Row Row 3: BRP Row Row 4: BRK Row ● The stitch count will will jog back and forth on the 4 row sequence: Row 1A ­ 57 stitches Row 1B ­ 58 stitches Row 2A ­ 57 stitches Row 2B ­ 58 stitches ● At the end of each row you will either slide or turn. Row 1A ­ SLIDE Row 1B ­ TURN Row 2A ­ SLIDE Row 2B ­ TURN Brioche Knitting Tips and Tricks ● The Brioche Ribbing will not show prominently until you are several rows into the project. Expect ​ this and continue working the rows It won't take long. ● The BRK and BRP stitches will always be comprised (in 2 color projects) of 1 strand of each ​ color. ● At the beginning and end of the rows, it's ok to gently snug up the end loops from the previous ​ row, but do not draw tightly.

So why include this semi- crochet hat on our new knitting web site? Because I‘ve had more people ask me to make them this hat than any other project I’ve knit - ever. To be honest, it’s the long colorway changes that make it so beautiful, not any ingenious designing. It’s gotten to the point where I can finish one in less than two hours. The perfect emergency gift. I had so much fun with them that I made six of them as gifts for my daughter and nieces - each in a different color way.This resulted in at least six more since everyone that sees one has to have one.
