In this video for our Skill Builder Box yarn club, Debbie explains the basics of brioche knitting, a technique which uses slipped stitches and yarn overs to create extra bounce and stretch in a rib pattern. This tutorial covers 2-colour brioche worked in the round, which is the easiest type of brioche knitting to learn.
Debbie demonstrates the basic brioche knit and purl stitches worked in the round, and some increases and decreases. She also covers how to read a brioche chart, working the set-up rows for brioche, and casting on and off.
