How to Knit * Honeycomb Brioche Stitch * Knitting Stitches

http://www.nadelspiel.com/ * This Honeycomb Brioche Stitch is knit easily with 4 rows only. The video shows you how to knit this popular knitting stitch...

Today I will show you a honeycomb brioche stitch

which is knit easily consisting of 4 rows only.

Actually it is only two different rows being offset once.

You need a number of stitches divisible by 2

and I'll start the first row on the right side

with an edge stitch and knit 1.

The 2nd stitch is knit deeper.

Hmm, I don't know if this is the right term so if you knitted deeper,

that means you plunge the needle in the hole beneath the stitch.

Always repeat K1 K1 deeper.

Repeat to the end of the row

K1 K1 deep; K1 K1 deep.

And I end the row

with an edge stitch.

In this case

I always knit the edge stitches.

This was the first row

of the pattern.

2nd row:

Knit the edge stitch

Now the first stitch has the yarn

in front from the deep knitting.

And you need to knit this stitch together with its

yarn in front. So there is a longer piece of yarn

in front of the stitch,

knit this together with the first stitch.

You see it here.

Knit the next stitch

and knit the next stitch together

with its yarn in front.

And don't mix it up with the tight loop

at the base of the stitch that front the stitch.

So you take the long one

and knit it together with the stitch.

Next stitch knit, next stitch knit together.

Repeat that to the end of the row.

So this was the 2nd row of the pattern.

Next row is third row,

is the same as first row but offset one stitch.

So third row, edge stitch....

Now you start with knit deep, knit, knit deep,

knit, knit deep, knit.....

You can remember that you see that

every second stitch has a double loop at the base.

This one is knit

and the one with the single loop at the base is knit deep.

So same as first row but offset one stitch.

4th row same as 2nd row but offset as well.

Knit the edge stitch.

Knit the 1st stitch,

2nd stitch knit together with its loop in front.

Knit, knit together.

Knit, knit together with yarn in front.

Always repeat to the end of the row.

And as usual with the Brioche Stitches,

you need some 10 to 12 rows until the pattern evolves.

So the pattern will not show

before you knitted a few rows.

So end of 4th row,

And now repeat rows 1 to 4.

So not much to see after 4 rows.

And that's how the Honeycomb Brioche will look like.
