Crossing Brioche Stitches – Making Diagonal Lines

This involves small crossovers that may occur on top of one another, next to one another or repeated and increased to create parallel lines. Worked on top of one another, they make a small continuous cable.

Crossover from right to left
Row 1 (RS) Worked over 3 sts after a sl1yo. Place first st onto a cable needle to front, place foll st onto second cable needle to back, brk1, then work sl1yo on stitch from second cable needle, then work brk1 on stitch from first cable needle, this is a right to left crossover.
For a diagonal line from right to left:
Work Row 1 (RS) as above.
Rows 2 and 4 (WS) Work all sts in brioche pattern.
Rows 3 (RS) Work all sts in brioche pattern.
Rows 5 (RS) Work a right to left crossover using the last st from former crossover as the first st for this crossover.
Repeat rows 2-5 as often as desired.

Crossover from left to right
Row 1 (RS) Worked over 3 sts after a sl1yo. Place first 2 sts onto cable needle to back of work, brk1, place the first st (the brk st) from cable needle onto left needle, then second st (the sl1yo st) from cable needle to lefthand needle, sl1yo, brk1.
For a diagonal line from left to right:
Work Row 1 (RS) as above.
Rows 2 and 4 (WS) Work all sts in brioche pattern.
Rows 3 (RS) Work all sts in brioche pattern.
Rows 5 (RS) Work a left to right crossover starting 2 stitches before former crossover.
Repeat rows 2-5 as often as desired.
