Brioche Terminology & Special Stitches
Please note all of the abbreviations and special stitches I mention here are all fully described and detailed in my pattern. Any other brioche patterns you use will also have details of the abbreviations they use - some may use different terms but essentially they will be very similar.
BRK - or Brioche knit stitch - Bark - you knit the stitch that was slipped in the previous row together with its corresponding yarn over.
BRP - or Brioche Purl stitch - Burp - Purl the stitch that was slipped in the previous row with together with its corresponding yarn over.
SL1YO - this is the technique that some people have difficulty getting their heads around but it really is quite simple once you understand the mechanism of how it works. The SL1YO action creates the slipped stitch with corresponding YO (sometimes called a shawled stitch) and this is what gives brioche its appearance and creates the amazingly squishy fabric.
This stitch combo is worked differently for a BRK row than a BRP row, but one thing that always remains standard is you have to make sure the working yarn is always in the front of your work before slipping the stitch.
On a BRP row the working yarn is in the front of the work anyway before slipping the stitch but on a BRK row you need to move the yarn to the front first then slip the stitch. This stitch, with its corresponding yarn-over, is considered one stitch when you come to work it.
SL1YO following a K or BRK - Bring the yarn to the front between the needles, slip next stitch purlwise, bring yarn to the back over the needle ready to work the next stitch (slipped stitch and YO are considered one stitch)
SL1YO following a P or BRP - With the working yarn in front, slip the next stitch purlwise, bring the yarn back over the right needle (and over the slipped stitch) and then to the front between the needles, into position ready to work the next stitch (slipped stitch and YO are considered one stitch)
Knitting Two Colour Brioche:
Follow the setup rows as indicated in the pattern. Each pattern will ask you to do your setup rows in a way that suits the pattern you will be working.
If you want to knit a swatch along with the video then your setup row after casting on an Odd number of stitches would be as follows:
- K1, SL1YO, K1 repeat to end. Do not turn work., slide the stitches to the other end of needle to work the RS a second time. - After this carry on from Row 1B below knitting the 2 Row (4Pass) repeat described.
Basic two colour brioche knitting technique goes as follows:
• Row 1A (RS & MC) K1, SL1YO, BRK1 repeat to end. Do not turn work., slide the stitches to the other end of needle to work the RS a second time.
• Row 1B (RS & CC) With yarn in front, SL first stitch, BRP1, SL1YO repeat to last 2 stitches, BRP1, SL last stitch with yarn in front. Turn to work the WS.
• Row 2A (WS & MC) P1, SL1YO, BRP1 repeat to last 2 stitches, SL1YO, P1. Do not turn work; instead, slide the stitches to the other end of the cable to work the WS a second time.
• Row 2B (WS & CC) With yarn in back, SL first stitch, BRK1, SL1YO repeat to last 2 stitches, BRK1, SL last stitch with yarn in back. Turn to work the RS.
How to fix mistakes in Brioche?
First of all if you are new to brioche knitting I highly recommend doing a small practice piece of brioche to get used to the stitch before working the pattern you have chosen and when you do start your pattern use lifelines. So if you do need to rip back it will be easier to pick up your stitches.
In the video I show you what to do if the following happens to you:
- What to do if you drop a YO?
- What to do if you drop a stitch?
I may actually try brioche after seeing you show how to sort out the nightmare of a dropped stitch! Great tutorial.
Thank you. I could sit and watch you knit all day. 😘
I love the way you flick. It's done so delicately. 😄

Thanks for this tutorial-you're very clear and I feel like I can possibly attempt brioche. I've been wanting to try it for a while but it seemed daunting. I'm wondering if there is a link to your shawl?
There should be a link in the description box ... you can search for my shop on ravelry - its Knitting Expat Designs
hi meena can u do this tutorial but for one color plz
what yarn did u use to make that rainbow and white 2 color brioche scarf in this video?
its on the pattern page for the shawl
can you add a set up video. I have your pattern but can't follow your set up. TA
its on my list of things to do but I don't have the time in the next few weeks to do that at the moment.

+Nina Woodson yes it called Le Moelleux on Ravelry

Love it, is that the Changes shawl on the table?
no this was filmed long before I designed that shawl
What is the name of the shawl? I looked on Rav but I can't seem to find it
Thanks
its the Le Moelleux shawl ... I've put a link to it in the description ... and you can use this link too - www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/le-moelleux-the-squishy-shawl
Thank you for sharing but I was hoping to see the shawl extended out instead of all bunched up on the table. Too bad
you can see the shawl on the pattern page in my ravelry shop where there are lots of photos
oNot all links are viable.
👍👍👍🌟🌟🌟
I don't know what a lifeline is
not a good tutorial to try to follow along and definitely not for beginners
no need for the hate ... plenty of people have found this tutorial helpful in learning how to knit two colour brioche. if it didnt work for you then thats fine there are plenty of free and paid for tutorials out there for you to try ... no need to be rude.
oh geez....hate???? NOT! just saying can't follow along with this and not for beginners no need to be so defensive.. try accepting some constructive criticism....not everyone agrees...i think YOU are rude for not accepting that....I do look at others videos and MOST people I have encountered are kind and also don't assume people have knitted for eons...and teach accordingly.... they are called tutorials for a reason...
Ginmars1 no one said it was for beginners...
I think I said that...
well plenty of beginners have successfully used this tutorial to learn how to knit brioche but at the same time I have never proclaimed to be a 'teacher' of any kind I am merely sharing the knowledge I have to try and help others out there. I don't necessarily think your comments were constructive in their nature and I do feel the tone of your comments are quite rude, atleast that is how it comes across to me.
