How To Knit: Circular Two-Color Brioche | Brooklyn Tweed

Deepen your knitting repertoire with the stretchy and stunning brioche stitch worked in two colors. It isn’t as hard as you think! This traditional technique consists of slipped stitches, work 2-togethers and yarn overs to create a springy double-sided fabric that is fully reversible. Learn how to work this deceptively simple stitch with this straight-forward circular method. This step-by-step tutorial will teach you how to use two colors of yarn to work brioche, opening up a world of possibilities in your knitting.

Steps:
3:31 Cast on with Color 1 and join to work in the round.
4:01 Setup Round (Color 2): Join in Color 2, *Sl-YO, purl 1; repeat from * to end.
7:11 Brioche Round 1 (Color 1): *BRK, bring yarn to front, Sl-YO; repeat from * to end.
9:35 Brioche Round 2 (Color 2): *With yarn in front, Sl-YO, BRP; repeat from * to end.

BRK: Brioche Knit
Knit the next stitch together with its corresponding yarn over from the previous row.

BRP: Brioche Purl
Purl the next stitch together with its corresponding yarn over from the previous row.

Sl-YO: Slip 1 with Yarn Over
Bring the working yarn under the needle to the front of the work, slip the next stitch from the L needle to the R needle as if to purl, then bring the yarn over the needle to the back (creating a yarn over on top of the slipped stitch); bring yarn into position to work the following stitch (in back for a knit, in front for a purl). This slipped stitch/yarn over pair is considered one stitch.
