How to Knit Fisherman’s Rib
plain brioche stitch


In the Netherlands brioche stitch and fisherman’s rib are both called patentsteek.
The method of working the stitch is different but the end result is the same.
This site will concern itself only with the brioche stitch, but I felt it was important
to give the instructions for knitting fisherman’s rib since it is a member of the
same family.
