How to knit a Fancy Honeycomb Brioche stitch (a 3D pattern)

In this post, I’m sharing how to knit a Fancy Honeycomb Brioche stitch 🙂

Without a doubt, this is one of those luxury patterns, that features texture and volume (such as the 3D Honeycomb stitch we practiced a while ago).

In addition, this variant of the Honeycomb Brioche is a pattern that will work for a wide range of projects, using different sorts of fibers: From cotton yarn to linen or bamboo, wool yarn, etc.

However, if you decide to knit a garment that should stay flat, add a nice edge on each side of the piece.

Ok, grab your needles, and some yarn, and let’s knit something amazing!

Abbreviations

CO: Cast on

st: Stitch

RS: Right side

K: Knit

P: Purl

wyif: With yarn in front

sl1pw: Slip one stitch purlwise

sl2pw: Slip two stitches purlwise

sl3pw: Slip three stitches purlwise (pass three stitches, one by one, onto the right-hand needle as if to purl)

yo: Yarn over

p2tog: Purl two stitches together

WS: Wrong side

BO: Bind off

N.B.:

The even rows form the right side of the work.

There is a setup row or “row 0”. After working on it once, it won’t be repeated again.

There is a special row to be worked just before the BO row. This row will balance the number of stitches (please note that throughout the pattern the number of stitches will increase. We need this row before binding off in order to have the same stitch count as we started).

This swatch was made out of 100% Merino Superwash wool yarn (worsted weight, smooth, and easy to knit with) #ad
