Found your site looking for help with a sweater using the brioche pattern. I won't bore you with lengthy detail. Its from the new Interweave Knits edition, p. 110. (hopefully you have it, or I'm wasting your time) I'm confused with what to do with the end of row stitches. On row one I'm left with a yo slip, but on row 2, I'm starting with a k2tog. Help please, if you can. Thanks!!!! Hi. Found your site looking for help with a sweater using the brioche pattern. I won’t bore you with lengthy detail.

However, it sounds like they reorganised the directions for Brioche rib to be Row 2: * k2 tog, Yo, sl 1, repeat from * where I have Row 2: * Yo, sl 1, k2 tog, repeat from * I would guess that in both cases, row 3 and after is "repeat row 2". I think it should work out. Try it on the swatch. People always emphasize the "getting the gauge" aspect of swatching, but you should forget the "checking out the directions" aspect, which is just as important! Row 1 is should be shifted one stitch from my directions also. Believe it or not, I don’t subscribe to any magazines! However, it sounds like they reorganised the directions for Brioche rib to be

Thank you! Initially,I tried to follow directions for Brioche stitch in the Interview "literally" and I could not get the pattern to work. And I consider myself an experienced knitter with ability to follow direction/read chart, etc. It seems to me, the directions should specify that before YO, the yarn should be in front of work (yif).Otherwise, it is hopeless. My question: for double brioche, is this also true? That you move the yarn in to the front of the work before YO? Your photographs did it! Thank you!

I am looking for a nice stitch to knit a scarf. Lately we see all these beautiful loosly-knitted scarfs, knitted with thick needles, 10-12, and I would love to make one like that myself. Can you help me with such a stitch? Thank you very much in advance for your time. I am looking forward to your reply With friendly regards, Monique Diakoumakou-van Berckel Hellas. Hi!
