Can it be use instead of the 2 colour brioche stitch? Can we make increases and decreases? If yes, how do we make them?<br />Thank's a lot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636765613588162075.post-91544590000781978922017-03-23T08:47:21.205-07:002017-03-23T08:47:21.205-07:00Do you know of a video of how to tink P1b.

Now knitting a cowl following your directions. <br />Just a question: you say "turn" at the end of row in circular knitting, as in "Bi-Colour Fisherman's Rib (knit in the round)". Is this a mistake? and if not, what does it mean?<br />Thank you againLluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10677894136539868796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636765613588162075.post-67109556256856002342015-12-05T12:05:27.469-08:002015-12-05T12:05:27.469-08:00Thank you for this very interesting post.Thank you for this very interesting post.ze knitting birdhttp://zeknittingbird.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636765613588162075.post-14693420038410507592015-09-23T13:32:37.129-07:002015-09-23T13:32:37.129-07:00Best.description.ever of the differences!

Because of you, I was able to figure out what I was doing wrong while trying to knit fisherman's rib in the round. Your comment about bagginess is helpful. I'll keep an eye on that. Now I can get on with my knitting!

When you turn your work, on the other side of the work you'll be purling the previous side's k1b stitches. And your k1b will be with the previous side's p1 stitches.<br /><br />I find this to be much more of a true ribbing, and it doesn't stretch out laterally like brioche stitch (and your faux fisherman's rib).<br /><br />This flavor of fisherman's rib is what's in Barbara Walker's first Treasury of Knitting Patterns as well as the Reader's Digest Ultimate Sourcebook of Knitting and Crochet Stitches.lumpynosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10098634476010203590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636765613588162075.post-61345776701728976172012-02-22T09:50:35.139-08:002012-02-22T09:50:35.139-08:00I've knit samples using both the brioche techn...I've knit samples using both the brioche technique and fisherman's rib; I honestly can't tell the end product apart, even in details. I believe that either method will give you the same result - that means you get to pick the technique that works best for you!<br /><br />I will say that it helps to be able to do both the "yarn-over" brioche method and the "knit one below" fisherman's rib method, because if you tink or frog your work, you'll see the yarn-overs appearing. <br /><br />Reminds me. Maybe I should do a post on tinking/frogging...RMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784311727621073041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636765613588162075.post-8467190931650208162012-02-21T18:25:50.894-08:002012-02-21T18:25:50.894-08:00I like your summary.

Nancy Merchant does make a point that though brioche may look like fisherman's rib, it is knit differently. I find the brioche method faster, maybe more rythmic. I noticed she refers to it as "brioche stockinette stitch"Jean (Ecocrafter.com)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14172710988647446886noreply@blogger.com
