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.
Cast on very loosely an even number of sts.
Prep row 1 (WS): *k1, yf sl1yo; rep from * .
Prep 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 1 (WS): *yf sl1yo, brk1; rep from *.
Row 2 (RS): *k2 (as in row 2), wyib, slip the yo pwise;
rep from *.
Row 3 (WS): *brk1, yf sl1yo; 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.
Repeat rows 1-4.
