Brioche Stitch creates a wonderfully lofty, widely ribbed fabric. People often find it intimidating, perhaps due to the yarn overs or maybe because of the abbreviations used in the pattern, but really, this stitch pattern is surprisingly easy. Watch our video tutorial above for a step-by-step explanation of working Brioche Stitch with one color of yarn.

Thank you! After trying about four different tutorial videos, this video is when I finally understood how to make the stitch.
Best explanation ever. Even though I’m an experienced knitter, I believe your wonderfully clear explanations could easily be followed by beginners. Well done!
Very clear instructions, and just the right pace for easy following. Thank you! I can’t wait to try this.
Thank you for demystifying this for me! This is a great video, straight to the point and very well explained.
Thanks so much fo doing this video! It made it so clear and easy. As a beginner I've been struggling with this stitch and this really made it clear and now I'm powering through a scarf I love! Thanks so much!!
This was such a clear and helpful video, thanks for having it up! And thanks for all the awesome patterns, y’all rock!
Grazie 🌷🌷
Brava 👏🏻👏🏻
Buona Serata💋💋💋
Thank you! You are a great teacher!!!❤
When you say to lay your yarn on the top of the needle, as in just leave your working yarn in front to knit, it sounds confusing.
Hi Kristin, I'm sorry to hear that our tutorial was a bit confusing! If you have any questions about the brioche knitting technique, please don't hesitate to reach out to us by sending an email to customerservice@purlsoho.com, and we'd be happy to give further advice.
Wish this was shown in continental knitting
Yes agreed. This video doesn't help.
You don’t clarify whether you knit both the first and last stitches of the row though?
Hello! For the purpose of our swatching, the first and last stitch of both sides are knit for all rows - making a clean garter stitch ridge along the swatch edges! Let us know if you have any other questions!
@@PurlSoho thank you for getting back to me!
Well done!
At the end of the row, do you just knit?
Literally can’t find the answer to this question anywhere! 🥴 did you find a solution?
I know this is late, but hope someone finds this useful. Yes, you knit the first and last stitch of each row - they are your selvedge stitches.
@@Bella-nn7ft The number of cast-on stitches may vary based on pattern, but if knitting flat, your total cast-on is essentially a multiple of 2 plus 2 stitches(1 selvedge stitch at each end). Brioche is worked over 2 stitches where you do a yarn over on 1 stitch and then either a brioche knit or purl. Always knit the 1st and last stitch and that gives a clean edge to seam or whatever. I'm also new to this, but that's what I did for the swatch and also cardigan I'm knitting in brioche. Hope this helps.
thanks💛
Thanks for the cool video! I have one question though - how do you count the rows in brioche sticking? Do you count the vertical Vs, or does it work differently?
Hi Imola, great question! In brioche knitting, each V is actually 2 rows.
Great video. I have watched it once and now I'm going to give it a go. Being an absolute beginner. I currently know cable on and off stitch and knit stitch. I was wondering how many stitches did you cast on in the beginning. I tried to figure it out in the picture but couldn't quite make it. :)
HI Maria! If memory serves, we cast on 25 stitches for this swatch. Thanks for writing and happy knitting!
She said even number in the video.
Hi! What should I do for the 2nd row? Should I do it like on the 1st row or should I do the brioche already?
Yes, after the set-up row, you can jump right into the regular brioche rows!
I've been trying to knit the Brioche hat, in the round, but am not understanding the Bp2tog stitch in the pattern. My yarn is already in the front so the YOS is confusing. Thanks!
Hi Dawn! The bp2tog stitch works the purl with the YOS from the previous round. If your yarn is in the front and you need to do a YOS, wrap the yarn from front to back, bringing the yarn back to the front to complete the bp2tog.
Brioche stitch in the round is a little bit different in terms of tutorials, as this tutorial is knit flat. We have a section of techniques for Brioche stitch on our website, and those can be viewed here!

Thanks for writing and we hope we can help!
I am a beginner does this pattern trick works on the long tail cast on?
Hello! Yes, you can use a long tail cast-on for a project in brioche stitch.
Do I need a selvage stitch if Im using circular needles?
Not necessarily, Bruce. Brioche in the round is a bit of a different tutorial - here's a project link to help with that!
