How to Knit 2 Color Brioche Rib Flat

January 2, 2017 1 Comment

Demystify flat two color brioche rib knitting with this easy to follow video tutorial featuring Heidi Gustad from the blog Hands Occupied.

Knitting brioche can be fun and challenging! Last year around this time, I introduced you to knitting two color brioche knitting in the round as part of the Funkasonic Knit Along. This month, as part of the Exquisite Mystery Knit Along, I thought it would be fun to incorporate some brioche in the design once again.(Lost? Learn all about the Knit Along here.) Each week of this knit along, I’ll be sharing video tutorials to help guide you through the most challenging techniques featured in the pattern. After all, January is selfish knitting month, so why not grab the Exquisite Mystery pattern and expand your knitting skill set while making something beautiful?

First up in this week’s tutorials, we’re looking at how to knit two color brioche flat. Last year, we used two color brioche knit in the round to add a super stretchy cuff to the mittens and socks we made. This year, we’re working flat and using brioche to create some funky vertical stripes. Tune in later this week for more tutorials to take your brioche knitting to the next level!

If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually k If you look closely, you’ll see I’m casually knitting from one sweater into another here, no big deal. (What can I say, I lost a game of yarn chicken. 😂) I almost didn’t post this because I was worried someone might have some nonsense to say about my ability to knit. Then I remembered I can’t care about that. Silly me, I almost forgot myself!

Speaking of which, dang it’s good to have my mental health back consistently after the past couple of years. The anxious parts of my personality are just chilling, rather than constantly screaming that my work isn’t good enough to share. The confident parts of me that matter have me creating (and starting to share my creations & process with strangers and friends) again!
