Briocherie: Quickie refresher tutorials for the skills you need!
Hello Briocherie!
Welcome to my Brioche refresher tutorials page! This is the central location to view my support videos that can help you to make your own Briocherie Pullover: brkyobrk, brk3tog and brsssk are all included. There is no audio within the videos. Written instruction slides are provided for thorough instruction, just pause to read them thoroughly & enjoy! If you find my tutorials helpful, I’d love to have your support with a pattern purchase.
The Briocherie sweater is made awesome by Spincycle Yarns, their colors are incomparably spectacular and I’ve used two different yarns in my sweater: Dyed in the Wool (main color, sport weight & color changing) and Versus (contrast color, dk weight & more consistent color).

There’s just one increase featured in briocherie and its the easy peasy brkyobrk. this increase is worked from a marked stitch in an mc knit column during an mc layer.
brkyobrk
Into a single st, brk1, leaving st on the LH needle, yarn forward under needle then over needle to back, brk1 into same st—2 sts inc.
These three loops are resolved on the next row as followed: sl1yof, p1, sl1yof.
the brk3tog (brioche knit 3 stitches together) is a brioche knit decrease that slants to the right. you will decrease two stitches. this decrease is worked over a marked stitch in an mc knit column during an mc layer.

Brk 3 sts together for a right-leaning 2-st decrease. The process for a Brk3tog begins 2 sts before the marked stitch. Note that a wrap is worked along with its stitch as only 1 st.
Sl 1 st knitwise, sl 1 st knitwise, brk these 2 sts tog, sl st back to LH needle, pass marked st over the brk st, move stitch back to RH needle.
the brsssk (brioche slip slip knit) is a brioche knit decrease that slants to the left. you will decrease two stitches. this decrease is worked over a marked stitch in an mc knit column during an mc layer.
