Brioche Knit Tips: the Brioche Unwrapped Decrease (brUw dec)

The brioche unwrapped decrease is an alternative to the brioche left slanting decrease, used in some patterns to keep the dark color yarn from peeking through on the right side of the piece. It can make your knitting look neater and remove any directionality from the decreases in a 2-color brioche stitch pattern.
This stitch is used in the Arabesque Hat as well as a growing number of knitting patterns on Ravelry.

Xandy, I have used your unwrapped decreases in a lot of patterns, for example, the Porcelain Cowl by Raina Kruus, and I think it greatly improved the overall look of the design. Thank you so much for making these videos. It would be helpful if you could re-title this to mention that it is Left Slanting.

I’m working on your “Blooming Brioche” pattern, and these tips make it awesome… it was already awesome because it’s a new pattern each row! I’m never getting bored. I am going to try this pattern out as a circle in the round (double it) for a wedding present. I think I can try and figure out how to do the WS knit decreases from the front, as in attempt to pull this off on a purl row. I’ll keep you posted!

Love this I am obsessed to the degree, I went to a yarn place in Brooklyn to attempt ONE PASS two color brioche. However, I find I have little confidence in the technique. It is my goal to learn one pass two color. I would pay if i could sit with you and learn your techniques. Would you ever in life consider doing brioche one pass??? i am sure with your skill in decreasing and increasing it would be a cake walk!!!

YES!!! I wish I could learn ALL THINGS BRIOCHE from you Xandy! You present things in a way that click for me. I’m currently obsessed with the One Pass technique. Unfortunately I’m a visual learner and haven’t discovered any videos for working techniques such as increasing and decreasing 😩
