Brioche Stitch: Basic Increase (bk2tog-yo-bk2tog)
Increasing in Brioche Stitch is a lot easier than you’d think. As a 2-stitch repeat, Brioche stitch requires a two-stitch increase, and the Brioche Stitch Basic Increase does just that. Even better, this method slants to the right or left depending on where you decide to work the increase. We’ll show you everything you need to know in the video below!
Brioche knit 2 together (the next stitch with its paired yarn over) and leave stitch on left needle; yarn over on right needle; brioche knit 2 together (the remaining stitch with its paired yarn over) and drop resulting stitch off left needle. [2 stitches increased]

Toujours de magnifique modèle serait-il possible d’avoir la traduction française. Merci beaucoup.
Hi Bastien,
Thank you for this lovely comment. We do not currently have the resources to translate our patterns, but hopefully at some point in the future this will be more of a possibility. In the mean time I will certainly pass along your suggestion!

Having major problems with left side of shoulder decrease, BK3TOG. I follow with last five brioche stitches, k2tog, slip resulting st. back to left needle, pass following knit st and it’s paired yarn over! The trouble is, the next stitch is a single purl! How can this be? I’ve ripped out the shoulder at least 10 times and watched the video several times. Can someone please help me?
Hi Esther,
Thanks for writing in! Can you tell me which of our patterns you are working on? I hope I can help you trouble shoot this!

Hi, I don’t understand how the return row works. The way I have it, on the return, the first of the 3 grouped stitches should be slipped, then the middle is “brioche” knitted. How are you getting the first one to be a knit? The stitch right before is a knit since it has a paired yarnover.
Hi Grace,
Thanks for reaching out! With this stitch pattern on the 2nd row you should not be slipping 3 stitches but working in the stitch pattern till you reach the increase, you then knit that first stitch normally from the increase since it dose not have a paired yarn over yet and then continue working in the stitch pattern (yarn over slip, Brioche K2tog.)
I hope this clarifies things!

Good video but still can’t get mine to stay in pattern it took me a while to get brioche but I finally got it. Problem pattern says increase at both ends of row I think I get the increase but the next row seems to fall out of pattern please help.
