Honeycomb Brioche Stitch





One-Color Honeycomb Brioche Stitch
Honeycomb brioche creates a very thick fabric so you should use the normal needle size (unlike plain brioche where you would use a smaller needle). If you knit it in fine yarn on large needles it makes a beautiful lace. Please note that there are 2 preparatory rows. Bind off very loosely on a RS row, knitting together the k1 and yo of last row as one stitch, with a much larger needle.Honeycomb_1color_880x280One-Color Honeycomb Brioche – RS                                 One-Color Honeycomb Brioche – WS

Loosely an even number of sts.
Set-Up Row 1 WS: *k1, sl1yo; rep from * .
Set-Up Row 2 RS:  go behind the yo of first st and k this first st (not with its yo), *wyib, slip the yo pwise, k2 (meaning k1, then go behind the foll yo and k1); rep from *, end wyib, slip the yo pwise, k1.

Row 2 RS: *k2 (as in Set-Up Row: 2), wyib, slip the yo pwise; rep from *.

Row 4 RS: yarn is hanging over needle to front, take yarn under needle to back so that the yo from former row is maintained, k1 (without the yo), *wyib, slip the yo pwise, k2 (as in row 2); rep from *; end with k1.
Rep from Row 1 WS.

Use either circular or double-pointed needles to avoid having to cut threads. This brioche stitch treats the yarnover as a separate stitch.Honeycomb_2color_880x280Two-Color Honeycomb Brioche – LS                               Two-Color Honeycomb Brioche – DS

Three-Color Honeycomb Brioche Stitch
Use either circular or double-pointed needles to avoid having to cut threads. This brioche stitch works the yarnover as a separate stitch. The dark color (color A) is always used as the background color, so it is worked every other row. When you attach a new color I would advise you to knot it to another thread to help maintain yarnovers at the end of rows. My colors: color A = dark blue, color B = medium blue, color C = light blue.Honeycomb_3color_880x280Three-Color Honeycomb Brioche – RS                              Three-Color Honeycomb Brioche – WS
