Brioche Stitch on the Knitting Machine

[@helensawkins4682]

I really like the way you explain things! Love the visual diagrams to annotate the pattern.

[@maureenharrah931]

I just found you! I have an OLD Studio knitting machine and I am thinking of dragging it out and getting back to it. It is at least 30 years old!

[@charlenetate1230]

Explanations are fantastic!

[@virginiablocher8646]

Such a great explanation! I have attempted this myself in the past, and found that doing two identical passages with the carriage with each color, changing cam settings only between colors, ie right k/t then left k/t, then with other color right t/k then left t/k, created a mostly indistinguishable fabric from hand knit two color brioche. It was good enough for my purposes and so much faster on the machine when the color changes stay on the same side.

[@ninarosenberg3456]

This is exactly the information i was looking for! It is validating to see that it really is a lot of work even when using the machine. I always feel like im doing it wrong when it takes just as long on the machine as to hand knit! (Once you account for all the frogging and rehanging :)

[@lesleyscott2117]

Oh so pleased I found you, not that I have the patience for the brioche but wow, so much excellent info and so clearly demonstrated - thank you for going to the trouble x

[@RingvoriRengard]

Thanks for your excellent descriptions. When we are allowed to travel again, visit you is om my wish list.

[@lynndan9747]

Great explanation, and your machine is impeccable!

[@theknittingschool]

Thank you kindly!

[@ceciliafrachia5722]

thank you! your explanation is perfect and your book of samples is just beautiful!!

[@SevenFootPelican]

that book is the most amazing thing ive ever seen (both the published one and the one you made in the factory)

[@privacytest9126]

Thank you for such a wonderful and detailed explanation. Love you fabric book!

[@treehousefiberarts2694]

Loved this video so much!!! Thank you for showing us this technique. I have a white/superba 1502 that I “inherited” 2 months ago, and to tuck I just hold both the circular and the tuck buttons together. So easy and a lovely fabric.

[@theknittingschool]

that sounds great!

[@mikeytmpmikey]

I would fail the student for asking you to do that :P !! Thank you for the explanation though, I can't wait to give it a go.

[@hanorafisher6442]

Thanks Mr. Milewski!

[@Cobracobalt]

Thank you so much for this great video !

[@donnadehardt5728]

I kept trying to explain this to people who swore it was just as easy as any stitch. What hey were referring to was 2 color/2row rib. It looks similar to real 2 color brioche but has ripples & it is shorter, more compact, thicker. And wider than regular handknit 2 color brioche. I had 2 toyota 901s & ribbers & I always intended to use 2 sets of carriages with lace extensions on both ends. It would still limit the width (2 sts of carriages would be at 1 ebd EOR. But I sold the extra machine and the ribber, leaving me only the 1 bed. I only did lace on it anyway.

[@ClaudiaArnold]

That was what I was thinking - what if one had two sets of carriages? There are extension rails for the Brother, as its lace carriage is extra. Sadly not for the Silver Reed that I have, though.

[@winza156]

Thank you so much! This taught me brioche.

[@curlycords]

Brilliant!! extremely helpful and concise information. Thank you kindly.

[@ЕльвіраЖук-ъ5й]

БлагоСловінь Божих вам , Дякуємо!

[@vutEwa]

What about tucking two rows for each color? Then you change colors more easily. And you get a more exaggerated and wider fabric with depth of two colors

[@joanie1301]

Great video, so informative. Thank you!

[@elizabethconvey3242]

Very clear demo, thank you

[@gengyyoung2105]

Complimenti e bravissima e grazie mille per i suoi preziosi consigli ❤️❤️😍😍

[@thestickitartstudio7374]

I have a question… some knitting machines come with a double yarn feeder attachment. Wouldn’t that solve the problem of have to switch yarn each pass?

[@brittneyporter15]

Just got my first knitting machine and I watch your videos every night! I love them. Do you think you could do a video on yarn including where you get yours and things to consider? Thank you for all your time!

[@ellelee9432]

It's a very nice technology. I would be happy if you could tell me more about the button operation. From japan

[@annao4932]

May I suggest that knitting material should be in a light colour as the darker colours are not easy to see thank you

[@EsteeDarla]

Great video and channel. What machine would you recommend for me I am trying to make little 1 inch to 4-inch size little dolls and wants very close or tighter type stitches that normally you can get with 2.5 knitting needle size but that's very hard on my hands so I thought this machine would work just don't know which machine I should get. Can you recommend some to me? Thank you

[@theknittingschool]

Sounds like you need a standard gauge Brother or Silver Reed machine. Also check out my new website for more information and tutorials. www.theknittingschool.online

[@EsteeDarla]

@@theknittingschool awesome thank you. I'm trying to learn more cause I'm on a small scale but want to buy the right things. I'm learning alot from your channel. I'm going to your site now

[@EsteeDarla]

@@theknittingschool on these two machines you mention can I get equivalent to like a size 2.5 to 3.5 knitting needle at least? Like as if I'm making fine or extra fine gauge on a sock loom I think would be close to what I'm trying to achieve cause of how small my dolls are? I rather spend the money upfront getting a versatile machine something gives me more finer closer together stitches and rows. Also, your website Id like to have a machine your using in the classes to better be easier for me on learning too. Being you have the expertise and know more about things I think maybe it best I just get something like those two or what you teach on

[@theknittingschool]

@@EsteeDarla In the classes, I am mostly working with standard gg Brother and Silver Reed as mentioned in my first comment. Not familair with your knitting needle sizes but you can get about 7-8 stitches/inch with a fine yarn on a tight tension. There is a finer gauge machine but they are rare, no longer made and hard to find.

[@EsteeDarla]

@@theknittingschool that work for me. Thank you so much your great help

[@孟孟張]

Thanks for the video, can I do this stitches on brother KH260?

[@theknittingschool]

Yes you can!

[@andyvalentine5348]

Thank you! Good mental exercise with two colors although I'm not sure I could focus as well as you. One question, could you use the plating accessory or color changer instead of manually changing the yarn?

[@theknittingschool]

You could use the plating feeder but it would not give the same effect - both sides would look the same and the tuck wouldn't be a different color.

[@helloworld503]

This is sooo wonderful, thank you so much!

[@N-A-Mur]

Нет слов, очень красиво! Спасибо

[@marianellamontenegro4786]

Muchas gracias por tu explicación y muchas gracias por compartir!!!! Podrás explicar el uso de una máquina de tejer brother 930 como hago para usar las teclas tuck, punto recogido, etc no entiendo el manual 😢 muchas gracias!!! Y que Dios te bendiga.

[@druidsongevergreens]

Whoah that book

[@SifPia]

I did it on my brother 860.. It was a mistake that I forgot open my card. It was card nr2, with 2 colours in the feders, kc on and knit with the card closed :) I cant remember if I have some of the buttons on carrige in also.. But it look very very nice :)

[@knit1924]

I know my question has nothing to do with briosche stitch, but I want to ask this question, some cards have an R on them and I was told they are ribber punchcards. How do they differ from knitter punchcards?

[@kathydiamond6064]

Could two-color brioche be made without the ribber? Just the single bed?

[@OzSteve9801]

I do mine the Passap way. Knit/Tuck for 2 rows colour A, then Tuck/Knit for 2 rows colour B. Tuck/Knit means tuck on the main bed, knit on the ribber. It's still not automatic like on the Passaps as you have to change settings every 2 rows. I don't think I'd knit a scarf this way unless you have a lot of patience. If you lose concentration and forget what colour, just look to see what colour was knitted last on the needles. Another stitch I like to call double English rib (single colour) has 2 rows knit, 2 rows tuck on the ribber and knit all the time on the main bed. If you do the tucking on the main bed there's a chance some stitches will jump off the needles so you can't use a punchcard. I have knitted garments with this though the going is also a bit slow.

[@MaraschinoPenguin31415]

How do you deal with the end stitch, which has to tuck twice in a row?

[@OzSteve9801]

@motherofjohnsdoppelganger9654 It's like doing full fisherman's rib but you're alternating which bed tucks every two rows instead of every row. You really can't do more than 4ply but the machine handles it fine. End stitches knit for 2 tows, tuck for 2 rows unless you want to knit them every row.

[@equitime77]

Your machine is beautifully clean. I love that swatch book. It would be a good idea to do that for myself if I can. Also, Im thinking unfortunately it would be impossible to create the fancy patterning that you get with brioche, ie the increases and decreases?

[@theknittingschool]

equitime77 it would be possible for sure, but you would have to concentrate!!!! 🙃

[@equitime77]

@@theknittingschool I have no idea how it could be done as I'm only a beginner. Also wouldn't it involve moving stitches about? I've heard that is very hard.

[@theknittingschool]

equitime77 yes, lots of moving stitches about. Not hard, just time consuming!

[@equitime77]

@@theknittingschool if possible could you do a video showing how please?

[@theknittingschool]

equitime77 check out my video on shaping 1x1 rib. I use brioche (fisherman rib/full cardigan) as my demo fabric. You will see how to move stitches around 😊

[@jandj2jandj2]

I have a hand knitting book from the 1890s or so that has brioche

[@msi7933]

Hi Helen, thank you for your video, it contains so much useful Information. However, I have a question regarding the two-colour tuck stitch: what do you think, could a colour changer simplify the process?

[@theknittingschool]

m si nope. The color changes every row, not every two rows. A color changer will only change color on the left hand side

[@msi7933]

Ah, ok, thanks a lot!

[@jordanandallisonthistlewoo2985]

This is amazing! Although more complicated with two colours than I think I care to attempt. Can you please explain or show the honeycomb brioche stitch that you said can be done with a single bed machine? Does it need a punchcard? Can it be done with two colours? It looked beautiful!

[@theknittingschool]

Thanks for the suggestions! Stay tuned...

[@mariacastro]

Thanks, Helen! I love the way you make your notations. Clear and simple. One of these days I'll book a Skype class with you, since I'm in Portugal (Porto) and not very likely to travel to Seattle anytime soon. Do you really need to have a tablet or smartphone to get a Skype lesson? Or is it possible to do it with a regular PC?

[@theknittingschool]

I need to see your knitting machine, so if you could make that work with your PC, then we can make it work :)
