Thank you so much for uploading this tutorial because I've tried the brioche stitch but find it difficult and this looks the same but very easy to knit.👍👍☺☺
Thanks, Rukhsana! Glad you liked it. It does look so much like brioche and has the same level of stretch. I hope enjoy knitting this pattern. If you do decide to try brioche again, see my one-color brioche scarf video (ua-cam.com/video/4E0rLm3_jXU/v-deo.html). I too had a hard time learning brioche, but now I love it. Do let me know if you have questions if you try that. Thanks for watching!😊
Really nice explanation, you've earned a subscriber. Your voice is a lot more soothing than what I've heard so far. I had to go through so many videos to find this one. This is perfect. Also the description is very helpful thank you. Using this pattern to make my boyfriend a scarf :)
I love this pattern, and your instructions are great. However, I found I wasn't able to get the nice selvage edge on both sides. By using an even number of stitches and repeating the first row, I was able to get the nice edging on both sides. Thanks for this video, it makes a wonderfully warm, stretchy scarf.
Thanks! Not sure why the edge didn't come out the way it did for me, but your method works too. And yes, the scarf is so cozy. I absolutely love it. I need to knit another one with the 2-color Fisherman rib pattern. One of these days....😊 Thanks for waching my videos and please spread the word. Best wishes!
@@KnittycatsKnits probably because I'm not the best knitter. ☺ I know I have problem with the tension. What I like about your instructions is that you explain the stitches well enough to be able to copy them easily. You're one of the best I've come across on UA-cam.
really appreciate this great tutorial. i'm new with knitting and can do the basic knit, purl and rib. i am really having a difficult time right now with this fisherman's rib. hope i can get this done today 😭
Thanks, Nina! I do hope you try it and it works well for you. When first starting off, might help to use a bulkier yarn, so that you can see the stitch below a bit clearly. Thanks for watching my videos and ping me if you have questions. Happy knitting😊

Thanks for watching and for the comment! Yes, this stitch has so much of a brioche look and nowhere as complicated. That said, I do love brioche too, but it took me a while to learn it properly. So maybe you will give brioche a chance another time. But Fisherman's rib works just as well in 1 or 2 colors. I will be posting t a 1-color Fisherman's rib hat video in the next week or two. Thanks for watching my videos and happy knitting! Cheers (:
Actually, I used a variegated yarn (Mandala Lion Brand), so it forms stripes as you knit. However, if you do want to use different yarns to form stripes, then you would simply break off the existing yarn (leave a 4-6 inch tail to weave in later), join the next yarn, and continue knitting in the pattern with the new yarn (no need for set up row again; just do rows 1 & 2 with new yarn until you reach desired stripe height, then join back the previous color or new color). Check out my video on joining yarn: ua-cam.com/video/vP_Q_WVKG4o/v-deo.html. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and best wishes😊
This took me a while to get started but I finally figured it out. Thanks for the clear instructions. I am making a scarf and was hoping to do half of it in one color and the other half in another color. Is it possible to do this with this pattern?
Thanks and great to hear that you are using this pattern. You can definitely knit with 2 colors (one half with color and then switch to another color to do the rest). You can just join the new yarn when you ready to start knitting with the second color (would suggest doing it after completing the 2 rows of the stitch). If unfamiliar with joining yarn, you can check out this video (ua-cam.com/video/vP_Q_WVKG4o/v-deo.html). Hope this helps and best wishes!
Hi Kashmira, the pattern is provided in the video description (click on the little drop down icon [triangle] below the video). The typical length for the scarf is about 5 feet (60 inches). Hope this helps and best wishes!😊
Hi Diana, the yarn I used (Lion Brand Mandala yarn) has different colors within it and so automatically knits up the color bands (the yarn label even has a picture of how the stripes/blocks will look). However, if you want to manually use different colored yarns (and join them/change them as you go), then the best way to know how many rows is to knit a small swatch in the pattern using a color/yarn of your choice. Then knit a few rows (counting the tows as you go) and measure the height. Then you will know how many rows = how many inches (or cm) of height for that color block. Then can plan to knit that many rows as you work on your actual project (scarf or anything else). Hope this helps😊 Thanks for watching and best wishes!
Thanks, Denise! Have knit potato chip (ruffle) scarves before using the specialized yarn or just using plain garter stitch short rows (ua-cam.com/video/xPbqKoJMnZw/v-deo.html). Have not tried it with the Fisherman's rib but it sounds like a brilliant idea! I'll give it a try and will definitely post something (if I manage to do it).☺
Im so lost! did the knit row then the row when you drop the stitch next row when you have to knit the stich in the hole in the V - I can't locate the hole - Help!!
Hi Clare, so sorry to hear you are having difficulty with the "knit in stitch below" part. I have another Fisherman rib video (of a hat). That also shows this stitch and may help you to watch it (link: ua-cam.com/video/xfOETKM757I/v-deo.html). I will try to post a video/short soon that uses bulkier yarn to show this. In the meantime, hoping my other video helps you. Thanks and best wishes🤗
Hi Clare, I just posted a short showing how to do the K1B (knit 1 below stitch). Check it out at ua-cam.com/users/shorts62OWRJY6DTY?feature=share and hope that helps. Let me know if you still have issues. Thanks and best wishes!
To the uploader, I'm starting to work on this pattern. I was wondering if there is a printed pattern that explains the different measurements for the different colours? I have tried to determine the different sections but am having difficulties. If I could get an answer soon, that would be great. Like I said I've just started this and would really appreciate it.
Hi Dianne, the scarf shown in video was knit with a variegated yarn (Lion Brand Mandala yarn). It has in-built color variations, which naturally form the striped sections as you knit with it (so no yarn changes needed). Unfortunately, I don't have a printed pattern but have provided details in video description (click on drop down icon below video). Hope this helps😊
@@diannebdee Yes, just the one skein of yarn (it is about 5.3 oz or 150 g) and it produces the beautiful stripe effect (can search for "Lion brand Mandala yarn" online and you can see the different color ways they offer). Thanks for watching my videos and best wishes!
@@KnittycatsKnits Kitty, thank you for the clarification though had I actually read the description I would have found that out.🤪 I'm doing mine in Caron Simply Soft and different solid colours. I'll have to judge the different sections with my work. I did find the Lion Brand Mandala on the website of my closest wool shop. I'll have ro get it and find something to do with it. Again thank you for your rime and for a great channel. ❤
Thanks! I just completed a hat with the 1 color pattern. So hoping to post a video on that soon (maybe next week). Will also post a video of the 2 color in the round after that. Glad you were able to access this video. Have contacted the help desk about the issue with the German-twisted cast on video.
Great tutorial thank you! The yarn you used is fantastic, lovely color combos. That isn't available here but many other types of LionBrand and others are so not an issue. I am curious though about the bulkiness as in the (#) they put on yarn labels. What size did you use for your finished scarf? Thank you
I used 1 ball of the Lion Brand Mandala yarn (150 g), which is light weight (#3) yarn. In thickness, would say it is in between fingering weight and worsted weight yarn. But I think this pattern would look good in worsted weight yarn (medium #4) as well. May just need to cast on fewer stitches for same width. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching and best wishes!
I'm doing a scarf on this now.. the look is lovely. Took a couple of Inches till I got the look. I'm using a self striping yarn.. thanks for the tutorial. P.s I saw some websites after I'm half way through. They tell to go 2 to 4 needle sizes lower for fisherman's rib. Do you recommend it?
Hi Jeba, so sorry, I had typed up my response but looks like it didn't post. Regarding your question, Fisherman's rib has a very stretchy look and feel. So if you wish to have a bit more tighter look, then yes, going a size or 2 smaller than usual for a particular yarn will give it a tighter look. I like my scarfs (or blankets) to have more of a looser feel though, so I typically use the standard needle recommended for a yarn. But really its your choice. Thanks for watching my video and best wishes!
Yes. After the initial set-up row, you do Rows 1 and 2 and then keep repeating Rows 1 and 2 for the pattern. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching and best wishes😊
I see that you made your project using the Mandala yarn, and it is very pretty. But to me, Mandala yarn seems to be too thin for me. Plus the knit belows are quite difficult to see, which is very frustrating!
Hi Patrice, yes agree that the Mandala yarn is a bit on the finer side, closer to a fingering weight yarn and it can be difficult to do the knit belows. I like it though because I can use it for lots of projects (like socks and hats). I think the Fisherman's rib is such a beautiful pattern though that it would look great with a thicker yarn, like a worsted weight (medium) yarns, like the Caron Cakes or other such yarns. Hoping you try it out with those and have an easier time knitting this. Thanks for watching my channel and your lovely comments! They are inspiring and encourage me to create more content. Best wishes!
@@KnittycatsKnits Aww, so sweet! I always enjoy watching your beautiful videos! Thank you for responding! May I ask if 1 cake of Mandala yarn make for a shawlette?
Good question, Alixanderia. I think I like the look of the stitch formed with the yarn over and brioche knits. Brioche was quite frustrating learning it at first, but once I did, I couldn't get enough of it. I guess could call it a labor of love (: If you want to learn more about these stitches, check out Interweave's post (www.interweave.com/article/knitting/fishermans-rib-vs-brioche-stitch/; the article appears to be more in favor of Fisherman's rib but has a very nice breakdown of the actual stitch differences).

Is the finished scarf n the video only 37 stitches wide (as stated in the pattern description)? I'm using mandala yarn, and 37 stitches for me looks a lot more narrow than yours. Great tutorial!
Hi Tova, as mentioned in pattern description, actually the scarf measures 7.5 inches in width. The number of stitches cast on is 37. If you use size 5 (3.75 mm) needles, with 37 sts of the Mandala yarn, your scarf should be close to 7.5 inches in width. Hope that helps, but let me know if you have other questions. Thanks for watching and best wishes!😊
Hi Ann, the finished scarf was about 5 ft (60 inches long) and 7.5 inches wide (more details are in the video description). Thanks for watching and best wishes!
That looks beautiful! 😍 Unfortunately.. I’m having a hard time trying to knit with the needles. Idk if it’s because my hands are too big, just not used to it, or I just plain suck LOL 🤷🏻♀️ However I find loom knitting to be a lot easier for me. Do you think you can demonstrate how to do this on a loom?
Thanks, Selina! Unfortunately I have never knit with a loom and wouldn't know how to do this on one. I have seen videos of loom knitting and it doesn't appeal to me. With so many new techniques with needles for me to learn and hopefully share, not sure if I'd ever be able to tackle the loom. If you are new to needles, it may help to try out simpler patterns (Fisherman's rib can be challenging even for experienced knitters). You can check out some of my other videos, like the simple rib stitch or moss stitch videos. I am sure your hands are perfect for knitting; just a little practice and you will master knitting with needles in no time 😊
Hi Christie, sure you can use finer yarn. You may need to check gauge to estimate the number of stitches for a scarf, as it will be higher number to get the same width. Suggest making a small swatch with the pattern in your yarn. Also, the K1b stitch may be a bit more challenging with a finer yarn, but I don't think it will be too bad. If you try it, do let me know how it worked out. Thanks for watching and happy knitting😊

Hi Christie, sure you can use finer yarn. You may need to check gauge to estimate the number of stitches for a scarf, as it will be higher number to get the same width.
