How To Knit: One Color Brioche in the Round | Brooklyn Tweed

Deepen your knitting repertoire with the stretchy and stunning brioche stitch worked in a single color. It isn’t as hard as you think! This traditional technique consists of slipped stitches, work 2-togethers and yarn overs to create a springy double-sided fabric that is fully reversible. Learn how to work this deceptively simple stitch with this straight-forward circular method. This step-by-step tutorial will teach you how to use one color of yarn to work brioche, opening up a world of possibilities in your knitting.

Steps:
Setup Round: *Sl-YO, purl 1; repeat from * to end.
Brioche Round 1: *BRK, bring yarn to front, Sl-YO; repeat from * to end.
Brioche Round 2 : *With yarn in front, Sl-YO, BRP; repeat from * to end.

BRK: Brioche Knit
Knit the next stitch together with its corresponding yarn over from the previous row.

BRP: Brioche Purl
Purl the next stitch together with its corresponding yarn over from the previous row.

Sl-YO: Slip 1 with Yarn Over
Bring the working yarn under the needle to the front of the work, slip the next stitch from the L needle to the R needle as if to purl, then bring the yarn over the needle to the back (creating a yarn over on top of the slipped stitch); bring yarn into position to work the following stitch (in back for a knit, in front for a purl). This slipped stitch/yarn over pair is considered one stitch.
