[Nfb-krafters-korner] The Knitting Brioche Stitch

[Neva Fairchild]

Can you use a loom for this stitch or does it have to be done with needles?

Hi All,

 

I have recently taught myself to knit one form of the Brioche stitch.  This
is sometimes called Fishermen's rib, German Rib as well as other names.  It
is a slip stitch pattern that can be used with strands of single or multiple
colors.  At this time I am only doing single color work.  The stitch
produces a very thick plush fabric and is usually done with wool.  I've used
both wool and acrylic yarn.  Scarves are a great first project in this
stitch.  If anyone is interested in learning how to do this stitch. I would
be willing to talk to Joyce about my teaching a class.  You would have to
know how to cast on, knit, pearl and bind off.    

 

Your thoughts?

 

Annette
