One-Color Stockinette Brioche Stitch
This variation places all the ‘knit’ stitches on the RS and the ‘purl’ stitches on the WS just as in normal stockinette stitch. This stitch pattern really doesn’t become interesting until you add more colors. This one-color pattern should be worked on needles much smaller than those recommended for the yarn. Stockinette Brioche – RS Stockinette Brioche – WS
Loosely cast on an even number of sts.
Set-Up Row WS: wyif, *sl1yo, p1, rep from *.
Row 1 RS: *sl1yo, brk1, rep from *.
Row 2 WS: *sl1yo, brp1, rep from *.
Rep Rows 1 and 2.
Two-Color Stockinette Brioche Stitch
Use either circular or double-pointed needles to avoid having to cut threads. Two-Color Stockinette Brioche – LS Two-Color Stockinette Brioche – DS
Loosely cast on an even number of sts in Light Color (LC). Do not turn work, slide to other end of needle and attach Dark Color (DC). The light side (LS) is the knitted side of the work, dark side (DS) is the purled.
My colors: LC = very light green, DC = dark green.
Set-Up Row DS DC: *sl1yo, p1; rep from *. Turn work.
Row 1 LS LC: *sl1yo, brk1; rep from *. Do not turn, slide.
Row 1 LS DC: *brk1, sl1yo; rep from *. Turn work.
Row 2 DS LC: *brp1, sl1yo; rep from *. Do not turn, slide.
Row 2 DS DC: *sl1yo, brp1; rep from *. Turn work.
