Brioche Flat One Color

How to knit one-color brioche, flat.
Knit Along
Here's the written version of what I'm speaking about - I'm a bit wordy in the video (an embarrassingly at the halfway point of the video I say "slip knitwise... I totally mean purlwise) but I think it's fairly easy to follow. I recommend watching it through once so you can see what's to come and then pause and follow along the second time through.
Cast on 20 sts.
Row 1: K1, *k1, sl1yo; rep from * to last st, k1.
Row 2 (WS): K1, *brk, sl1yo; rep from * to last st, k1.
Rep Row 2.

omg...finally!! Thank you for your clear tutorial on the 1-color brioche stitch. After looking at so many videos on this stitch, yours is the only one that makes sense to me. Finally, I now understand how to make this stitch pattern. Keep up the clear tutorials!

[@pamelamazzella672]

OMG... you have saved my sanity! I was determined to learn this stitch! I watched many videos over and over again! Most said to co odd number of stitches....my count was never right 😱 Thanks 💕!!!

[@stephaniemoran967]

Like many people here I want to thank you for a clear, easy and easy to understand tutorial. I have more confidence now to try this knit. Thanks so so much

[@patricecooper8419]

I really enjoy your gracious way of knitting! That is really good!

[@jensinejackal2205]

Instructions were very clear! Out of all tutorials I am sure that this is the best one. Love from America 💕

[@reneebois128]

Thank you for this tutorial. You've explained the stitch perfectly! I've listened to other brioche tutorials but your's is the easiest to follow. :)

[@chriscaggiano7562]

I agree. I've been so frustrated, watching countless videos on how to brioche, and they all get lost in pointless detail. And it's confusing and discouraging. The flat one-color brioche at its essence is so simple: just brk, yarn front, sl1, repeat. I don't why people have to complicate it. yeah, there's more you can do with it, like selvages and whatnot. But really it's just brk, yf, sl1. Boom. That's it. Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much for this video, I have been trying to learn this stitch for months and nothing was making sense. Your walkthrough is easy and clear to follow in both words and visuals. Thank you so much !!!

[@kdolguin]

I have tried to understand brioche for years and have failed. Until now. THANK YOU!! Your tutorial was very clear and made sense finally!!!!

[@hrachikful]

I agree with Evelyn Winters, I have been trying this stitch the whole day with different tutorials, without success, till I found your tutorial, so clearly explained, and I got it exactly within a short time.. Thanks again!

[@julie22141]

Thanks for such a clear and easy to follow explanation! Best one I've found out of several!

[@deliapraise4ever]

Thanks for this video, I started my brioche stitch for the very first time knitting it by hand. I've use to do it on my knighting machine for many years. But do to health issues I'm enjoying again sitting on my comfortable chair and knit to my heart's contentment...you've explain it very well, :) thanks

[@mangomum99]

Awesome the penny finally dropped for me this tutorial was completely clear thanks so much I’ve been giving this a go over the past year or more & kept stumbling over other rows wow 🤩 I’m so glad I came across your tutorial & once I’ve got this down pat to memory I’ll be brave enough to do the 2 colour brioche 🙏🙏🙏💕💕💕

[@pamalojo]

Thank you so much for this! I've been wanting to try brioche for ages and it was actually a lot easier than I thought it was, all thanks to you!

[@flyingcloud9253]

Thank you sooooo much! I was having a great deal of trouble learning this stitch and you did such a nice job of helping me understand the concept...thank you!

[@manjitaulakh3240]

Wow at last I understand thank you.the only tutorial that made sense

[@kristinecole214]

Thank you so much for this. Tried working off the instructions in a pattern, but it didn't explain to slip with yarn in front and everything looked a little funky. Your clear explanation helped so much. Can't wait to try your two color videos when current project is done!

[@theresapicard3911]

Thank you.. this is the clearest instructions I've seen. you are awesome. looking forward to more video's from you.

[@roostinahalim7173]

Your instruction is clear, really an excellent tutor.

[@julietajanzen2648]

This is the best explanation. Thank you from Australia : )

[@reneecole3216]

Thank you so much for showing me how to do this

[@karenoleman6887]

Wow. You made this so clear and easy!!!! Thank you!

[@ericanorman1740]

At last even numbers and a good selvage. Thank you x

[@jjnewcomer4745]

You explain very well

[@kathywood1994]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been stuck on a Stephen West shawl on a brioche section. I have never done brioche before and could not get the hang of it until your video. Very clear and easy to follow, thank you for sharing. Xx

Pourquoi depuis quelques semaines nous avons les traduction s des modéle s de tricots uniquement en langues étrangéres il y a de TRÉS jolis point de tricot malheureusement je n'y comprend rien dommage

[@mirkrovi]

Your video was so helpful! This will look great on my beanie. Thank you!

[@dennisgallagher7489]

i have watched how to correct a slipped stitch, but can you tear out a row of brioche? I see if you cast on a even number of stitches you work sides in the same way, but an odd number of stitches you have to work the WS a bit differently. Great video.

[@antoinettebilocca9868]

Thank for your tutorial at last I found one that’s well explained

[@Lauralinkola]

What a great tutorial ❤️ thank you so much

[@gabeenam.517]

What if we wanted to increase the number of stitches from 20 to 40?

[@dontblink5264]

Thank you, it makes sense now 😀💞

[@susanbrown8142]

Thank you so much for your video it has been most helpful💖

[@denubug]

Love your videos, thanks!

[@user-eq9nh9sl8k]

Do you have video of working knit off needles?

[@shadighaffari8088]

Does it take a whole lot more time for the work to come up, and does it use more yarn?

[@TheUnapologeticKnitter]

Yes and yes! Brioche is worked in multiples of 2 rows so it takes two rows to make 1. Since every other stitch is a slipped stitch (the sl1yo) we only work half the stitches on each pass which means that each 'pass' is only really half a row. We need the second 'pass' to complete a full row (I hope that makes sense). And yes, brioche is a yarn hog and uses more yarn. I'm not sure if it's double (say, for a hat) but it would definitely be at least a third more.

[@shadighaffari8088]

@@TheUnapologeticKnitter Then I think knitting a pullover in that stitch would take a terrible lot of time.

[@allonszenfantsjones]

Only one caveat when you are "knitting", the yarn is actually in front which to a fast knitter is a little counterintuitive because that means you're in position to purl. Just takes a little re-education of your hands.

[@vivianpowell1732]

So then does this mean that you do not throw the yarn to the back before knitting the next 2 stitches together? Thank you.

[@francaperotti5934]

Thanks I can now start

[@paulaaschim5951]

I see what you're doing (good job, thank you!) but am confused by terminology. Is the definition of "slip one stitch and yarnover" actually the process to "bring the yarn forward and slip one purlwise?" If so, the name and the process seem opposite to me.

[@TheUnapologeticKnitter]

Paula Aschim Well - sort of. The action is largely “slip the next Stitch purlwise with yarn in front and move the working yarn back into position to knit or Purl the next st thereby creating a yarnover”. That’s the long version of it. ;) You don’t, in fact, create a yarnover before you slip the stitch- the yarn over is created by knitting or purling the next st because when we move the working yarn to the front to slip the next st (when you’re on a knit row) we do so by moving the yarn between the needles rather than over. The yo is created when we knit the next st and the working yarn wraps over the LH needle. Does that help clarify?

[@paulaaschim5951]

thank you!

[@tessiehusain6844]

Please do tell me what needle size & what size wool

[@TheUnapologeticKnitter]

I believe this is a US 5 needle and sport weight yarn. Alternatively you could do the same with a US 8 needle and a worsted weight yarn.

[@joycesutherland1809]

Do you have written instructions as well?

[@TheUnapologeticKnitter]
