While brioche is best known for its cushy textural rib pattern, there are endless variations to explore. In this class, you'll get to know my three favorite textural brioche stitches (in both one- and two-color versions): Honeycomb Brioche, Pearl Brioche, and Stockinette Brioche. Students should already be comfortable with brioche knit and purl stitches. Please take an introductory brioche classes before taking this one!

Technique Requirements: knit/purl, cast on/bind off, basic brioche comfort

Cast on 17 sts with Color A (lighter color) and long-tail cast-on and work in two-color brioche as follows. The first and last stitch are selvedge stitches.

Set-up (WS): (k1, sl1yo) to last st, sl1 wyif

R1 (RS-A): k1, brk1, (sl1yo, brk1) to last st, sl1 wyif; slide

R1 (RS-B): k1, sl1yo, (brp1, sl1yo) to last st, sl1 wyif; turn 

R2 (WS-A): k1, brp1, (sl1yo, brp1) to last st, sl1 wyif; slide

R2 (WS-B): k1, sl1yo, (brk1, sl1yo) to last st, sl1 wyif; turn

brk = brioche knit; brp = brioche purl; k = knit; RS = right side; sl = slip stitch (purl-wise); sl1yo = slip stitch and yarn-over at the same time; slide = slide all stitches to the other end of the needle; sts = stitches; turn = turn work; WS = wrong side; wyif = with yarn in front;

At least 2 colors of yarn (solid, high contrast colors) and 2 DPNs / 1 set of circular needles in matching size, eg. fingering weight and US 4/3.5 mm, DK weight and US 6/4.0 mm, or worsted weight and US 7/4.5 mm.
