In this video, Laura from Purl Soho shows you how to work Two-Color Honeycomb Brioche. a wonderful lofty fabric. Using two colors, the stitch pattern creates a solid plain of one color, peeping from behind a layer of delicate lattice work in the contrast color.

You started the tutorial with the contrasting color already added. Would have been helpful if you started at the cast on. Love the look tho.

[@PurlSoho]

Hello! We cast on for this swatch using a long tail cast-on, and we have a tutorial for that technique right here: www.purlsoho.com/create/long-tail-cast-on/. After working a standard brioche set-up row (alternating k1 and YOS stitches) with the main color, you can begin Row 1 with the contrast color. I hope this helps clarify how the contrast color gets added in!

​@@PurlSoho So do you cast on with both yarns held together?

[@PurlSoho]

@@meg_pflueger Nope! You cast on with the main color, work a standard brioche set-up row (alternating k1 and YOS stitches) with the main color, and then begin knitting Row 1 with the contrast color.

You dont show how to begin

[@annh.8290]

So if you wanted to knit this in the round, would you just start at the beginning of the new row, as though you were knitting at the other end of the needle?

[@PurlSoho]

Hello! That is the basic method of adjusting a stitch to be worked in the round, but there are some other changes as well. In particular, the wrong side rows would need to include the opposite stitch (knit instead of purl, and purl instead of knit) in order to create the same look!

Love this stitch it's so beautiful. Thanks for sharing thing.. 😃

[@TracyFlinders]

Why is YOS used for both yarn-over-slip-stitch and slip-stitch-yarn-over? Very confusing.

[@PurlSoho]

Hello! We're not entirely sure what you mean by "yarn-over-slip-stitch" versus "slip-stitch-yarn-over." In a YOS stitch, the slipped stitch and the yarn over happen simultaneously. So it shouldn't matter which you way you orient the words when thinking of this stitch! Please let me know if you'd like any more clarification on the YOS stitch though--we're happy to help explain in more depth!
