Brioche Knitting Tutorial: BRK 4 ST DEC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- This knitting tutorial demonstrates how to do a 4-st center decrease in brioche knitting (BRK 4 ST DEC), and how to back out of it if you make a mistake! You can find all of my brioche knitting tutorials on this playlist: • Brioche!
Here are the written steps:
St = Stitch/es
LHN = Left hand needle
RHN = Right hand needle
Sl = Slip
You will utilize the next 5 sts on your LHN for this decrease, which will decrease out 4 of these sts by the end. For ease of explaining, let’s label these next 5 sts 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (starting at the stitch closest to the tip of your needle.
Step 1. Sl st 1 knitwise to the RHN.
Step 2. Sl st 2 knitwise to the RHN.
Step 3. Sl st 3 to a removeable stitch marker and hang it to the front of your work.
Step 4. Knit st 4. (We will still refer to this st that is now on the RHN as st 4.)
Step 5. Pass st 2 over st 4. St 4 remains on the needle.
Step 6. Sl st 4 back to the LHN, pass st 5 over st 4. St 4 remains on the needle.
Step 7. Sl st 4 back to the RHN, pass st 1 over st 4.
Step 8. Take st 3 from the removable stitch marker and place it back on the LHN. Sl st 4 over to the LHN. Pass st 3 over st 4.
The decrease is now complete, so you can return st 4 to the RHN and make sure to give a tug on the working yarn to remove the slack. [4 sts dec’d]
As the other commenters note, your instructions are straightforward. Thanks so much.
I'm learning brioche with your Harlow hat and your videos- you break it down and make it feel so straight forward and less scary. I'm now pretty excited to use brioche in other patterns from the confidence you gave me
So happy to hear that!
Very explicit instructions. THANK YOU
You're welcome!
Today, thanks to your very clear video, I very confidently and excitedly created my first ever 4 stitch brioche decrease. 🎉🎉🎉
And then I realized I'd accidently done so with the wrong yarn. 😢😢😢
But - it was all okay because you also led me through taking the whole contraption apart again. 😂🎉😂 Perfect video. ❤ So thank you for that!!
So many great tips! You are a fabulous teacher. 💕
I'm into learning brioche....love it. Thanks for the tutorials, i have learned so many new technics! I start knitting and crocheting at 7 years old, now, at 65 I'm enjoying this beautiful art with new eyes. You are a very sweet, good teacher😍
Super decrease. Wonderful. Beautiful result.
I just finished the Harlow-Worsted. I'm a first time briocher. I watched this video 12 times during the knitting of this hat, and several times before. I'm so excited that I have learned something new. Thank you Andrea. Your instructions are the best. I couldn't have done this without you!!!!
Great job!
