One-Color Double Brioche Stitch
When working a brk2, there will be two stitches under one long yarnover; work both stitches under the yo then slide the yo off after 2nd st. The yo at the end of the row over the last two sts is difficult to knit under so let it drop off after first st is worked and knit last st without a yo.
Double Brioche – same on both sides
Cast on a multiple of 4 sts.
Set-Up Row: *sl2yo, k2; rep from *.
Row 1: *sl2yo, brk2; rep from *.
Repeat Row 1 only.
Double Stockinette Brioche Stitch
The columns of this stitch scrunch together, they are being forced together because of the crossing of the yarn overs in between.

Three-Color Double Stockinette Brioche Stitch
Use either circular or double-pointed needles to avoid having to cut threads.You need to work a selvedge stitch in order to catch yarns at the edges. You might notice that “- Color shift -” has been written into the instructions. This is a warning that you will shift the colors by working either two color A rows right after one another or a color B and C row right after one another. As you can see in the photo, two brown rows (color A) sit on top of one another, then one yellow followed by one blue row.
