Hope this helps someone other than myself!!
Thank u a million for explaining, i aprreciate it
I dont get what you mean by the numbers smitten kitten
@@donnaquinn6746 They are timestamps that take you to each row in the pattern so you can easily find them, kind of like bookmarks. Say you remember how to do the first two rows, but can't recall how to do the third row; you can click on the little numbers and it will take you to that part in the video. It's a table of contents sort of thing to easily find the row you're working on. I hope this makes sense!
@@SmittenKitten.Ohh thanks smitten kitten now I get it 👍 good idea...I'm a beginner after not knitting for 30yrs just started back. A great thing to do. 😊💜
@@donnaquinn6746 Aww, thank you!!! 💜🧡💛💚💙
And it's 1am and I'm crying. I thought life was difficult, until I came across this. 😭
Hi thanks for this I’m 13 and a left handed beginner and have been struggling to learn different stitches but this really helped as I figured out how to follow a right handed tutorial
for any beginner knitters out there, this is actually called the honeycomb brioche stitch
Actually it's not exactly the same
@@silvanamarasco7812 isn't it???
@@silvanamarasco7812 Lol yea it’s the exact same thing
@tina The honeycomb brioche stitch starts of with even stitches! This one starts off with odd number of stitches
@@bertaboga2143
The number of stitches doesn't make any difference really.
Love your clear directions!!!! I'm truly rubbish at following patterns but I completely got it via your directions! BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT, BRILLIANT!!!!! 👍😆
I usually have a very difficult time learning knitting stuff because I get frustrated easily but this was a very well made tutorial! thank you so much!
We're so pleased! You're more than welcome
Yay! Something lovely and easy to follow, for me to try out tomorrow.
Thank you so much 😊
I’m so thankful for your pattern episode🙏👌💝
Thanks soo soo much I really like this stitch it's now my favourite
This is a lovely stitch! I will tuck it away in my memory for another project one day.
What a wonderful textured stitch....I've been searching for a textured stitch for a few days....great video...and spoken proper English at an easy to listen to pace (I am hearing challenged).....how come I've never hear of your firm before....and those needles....beautiful....off to your website. Thanks.
I'm so excited to try this!!!!!!
Beautifully explained thank you
Very clear tutorial. Thank you and greetings from Turkey 🇹🇷 ❤
Great video ,I forgotten how to knit this pattern ,but when I saw your video I got it again ,thanks please make more video you are awesome
You have pretty fingers which believe it or not, make a big difference in my ability to enjoy and pay attention to a knitting video! Thank you!!
Love the colour
Thanks
I will definitely have to go back and learn how to cast on, before I try to tackle this one. Thanks
Love the look of this pattern!!! Can I use it for a baby's blanket?
Got it thanks, I love this it's easy and fun and looks very nice and it's nice and thick for a sweater or something like that.
Thank you. Will try.
thank you for that. well explained, slow for beginners like me to follow and contrasting colours of tools making it easy to see. So, well thought through
very cool! Great teacher. Thanks for sharing
Thanks!
Amazing ❤️
Merci beaucoup
Wonderful!!👍👍
Love this stitch its so beautiful can you tell me if this stitch can be use with any yarns like wool and acrylic etc. Thanks for sharing this beautiful stitch.
Thank you for the clear pattern tutorial! I kind of managed to do it, but not good enough to know how to fix it..haha
Does anyone know how to work this pattern in the round??
This is so hard..i am going to cry
no it is not so hard when you find how you do it. you must deside what is the back side and the front side of it . and the next step to remember is de different patters and begin right . i hadd som problems too in the begining too. i had to begin 3 times before i understood it . so please try more . its fun when you understand it . i think i will try to make a jumper with this patteren
It’s not hard because it’s all knit and no purls 👍🏼
Can one make a baby blanket using this stitch pls? If so, would it look right when putting it together square by square? Your tutorials are so helpful and clear! Thank you x
Great walk through!!! Thanks!!! Excited to work this one.
I can’t wait to try this!! I’ve been crocheting but I feel like knitting might be quicker so I’m gonna give this a try!
For me it's much slower. I've been crocheting for nearly 4 years so maybe that has a effect. But what really helped me was to learn Continental knitting instead of English knitting. Hope that helps some!
@@thelittlestdragon4730 I've crocheted for the past 40+ years, and only started knitting about 5 years ago. So of course for me too crocheting is much faster, and I totally agree with learning continental knitting if you're already a crocheter. I struggled SO much with english knitting, but once I learned about continental, my knitting really took off. So I always tell crocheters who want to learn to knit to try continental.
How do you do this stitch in the round?
Would you be able to tell me what your gauge is for the swatch?
In the round I'm just curious how to work rounds 2 and 4 since you never face the wrong side. Do you know what I mean?
The same question. I would like to knit scarf in the round and I am looking for a stitch to fill gaps between cables. This looks nice, but how to knit rows 2 and 4 in the round?
Difficult! But oh so pretty! Wish I had your knitting skills😫....Gonna try it though...wish me luck😀
You'll gradually get it if your persistant & patient. That's the fun of it learning something new.
You have a beautiful voice :) Sounds like Keira Knightley is explaining :)))))
Would a striped scarf come out good with this pattern? Would it look okay when you change colors?
I'm curious - is this a stitch that could be used for the pattern in socks? It looks warm and thick, but also a bit stretchy. Have been searching ravelry for a pattern using this stitch, but thought - why not socks? Great tutorial - very easy to follow - thank you!
I am gonna make a hat :))
Lovely😍 but why there is no hexagonal shape visible in the final swatch?
How can you decrease this stitch? I am trying to fashion a hat pattern but am stuck on how to decrease it could you please help me with this. Thank you for your time.
What size needle ‘s what weight yarn ?
Hey does anyone know how do I do an increase for hexagon stitch. Please let me know how to do that :)
Is this a good stitch for baby blanket? I would like to purchase a DIY kit if you have one
This is an interesting stitch, but I think it's a *bit* beyond my skill level right now. You did a great job of showing it, but it makes my brain hurt -- LoL! Will wait until I've got a few projects under my belt before I take this on!
Dont give up..Just practice you will soon get the pattern.
I think a good one to try is the no purl fisherman's rib stitch. It's easy to learn, and uses the *knit one, knit one below* technique. Once you get familiar with that stitch (it makes amazing warm scarves) this one will be that much easier to do. Have fun!
Is this a reversible pattern?
I love this stitch and I want to create a romper pattern for it but I can’t seem to figure out how to increase/decrease for my leg shaping. I’ve searched for the last hour and can only find increases for regular brioche 😭
If you knit two stitches together (K2tog) it decreases, and if you “yarn over’ (YO1) you increase. Yarning over is just taking your working yarn and wrapping it around your needle before you knit your next stitch. You can also knit multiple stitches together, and also yarn over multiple times. I hope this helps!
I'm not getting the bar you pick up and I don't know why, could it be because I'm left handed?
How do you increase hexagon stitch in pattern? Does the "Kiss Me Quick jumper" have increases?
Did you ever find out how to increase?
I’m terrible at this. When I go through the bottom stitch and wrap the yarn around when I go to pull through it seems to fall apart. Is maybe my yarn to thin? Yours seems to be nice and firm on the needle when you do it, I’m sort of a beginner. ☺️☹️
Please show the other side of the work that you created as a sample. It would be so helpful. In all that you do.
I am visually impaired I have double vision I was a knitted I hope to start knitt need some help with knitting and confidence
Beautiful stitch, I have tried and I am able doing it, my problem is I don't know how many hooks I need to have at the beginning to make a baby blanket (80 cmx80cm)??? thanks in advance !
Depends on the yarn thickness and the size of needles...
any advice on using this stitch pattern for circular knitting?
Even number of stitches.
Row 1: Purl all.
Row 2: Purl all.
Row 3: **P1, P1 one row below** repeat this pattern till the end of row.
Row 4: **P1 together with the diagonal strand, P1** repeat this pattern till the end of row.
Row 5: **P1 one row below, P1** repeat this pattern till the end of row.
Row 6: **P1, P1 together with the diagonal strand** repeat this pattern till the end of row.
Repeat rows 3-6 to complete the whole pattern.
Hope this helps.🙂
how did you cast on the thread?
Longtail, she does tell us as the beginning. She also knits a row before beginning the pattern.
what is the cast on multiple? just any odd number?
yes, any odd number
Ri
Can I do this in a loop? Would like to knit a beanie using this stitch
Cody Wong me too! 😊
it looks like that could work, just instead of casting on an odd number of stitches cast on an even number because the beginning of your row at the start of the round kisses the end of it.
Can someone help me troubleshoot? I keep getting a big hole at the end of the first row of my knitting and I do not understand why. I am following the instructions exactly.
Do you have a written pattern for this? It's beautiful!
Hi Leanne!
We do not have a written pattern for the stitch individually, but instructions on the stitch is included in the pattern book when you buy a DIY kit that contains the stitch! The new Kiss Me Quick Jumper uses hexagon stitch :)
+WOOLANDTHEGANG well I might have to buy that then! Thanks so much! :-)

Thanks for that! I'm knitting cardigan using this stitch. Just scared, what if mistake will happen?! Is there any change to fix it somehow? Even slowly unravel looks impossible to me.
The longer cardigan is I'm getting more scared that I do the mistake haha
What is the percent recovery post stretch? Max stretch factor? Effective spring constant?
Lol!
How can I Knit this in the round?!
No you can't make this pattern in round ,but if you are making cardigan you can make it ,because as you see you have to go in every second row and pick up that stitches in round you can't do it
To knit this in the round, you have to start with an even # of stitches, but you start the same:
Foundation round: k all sts
R1: *k1, k1below* repeat
R2: *p1, pick up loose st onto left needle and p2tog* repeat
R3: *k1below, k1* repeat
R4: *pick up loose st, place on left needle and p2tog, p1* repeat
Repeat R1-4 as needed
can someone spell out the name of the cast on she used?
Hi there, she used the Long Tail Cast On method - which you can learn more about here: goo.gl/lUiYOy
One under threw hoop on stick then reg nit then next row grab bottom extra from row finished nit intotop loop pass it transphere stick then pearl it back onto transphered stick then repeat this untill not forms
This is an amazing stitch but I have a big problem.
You said this could be worked in the round on your first video of this, but never replied to other comments asking how. Can you please explain how to do this stitch in the round so we can make cowls, socks, mittens, and topdown sweaters.

I wish I could see the wrong side as well to determine if this would be suitable for a scarf
Debbie R I made a few rows of this to see for myself and I believe it was one sided.
Damn this is a b*tch stich :( gonna give it a try tho!!
Madam ji kya hum 100 funda ka bun sakte hai sweater इस design ka plz reply back if yes then please tell me how to make neck with cap but madam ji i know how to make sweater but this thing i dont know how to make neck with cap but madam ji know one gave me proper guidance tkc and madam ji plz corporate thnx
it looks so good in the video.... and mine is just.... a tangle of knots,,, howwww
Good instructions but Id like it much better without music
Po.te.lumte.ajdore
here's the written pattern!
row 1: ( _K1, KB1_ ) K1
row 2: ( _K1, Slipstitch1_ ) K1
row 3: ( _KB1, K1_ ) KB1
row 4: ( _Slipst1, K1_ ) Slipstitch1
repeat brackets until last stitch
But how can i begin it , from the very beginning?
layla aziz It looks to be just a cast on row and then she dives in, but you could probably just knit one full row as normal and then begin it. As long as it’s uneven amount of stitches. Hope this helps!
She said that she did a longtail cast on and then knitted the first row

Girl, you sound JUST like Keira Knightley
निटिंग video
You have two videos labeled "hexagon" stitch, which is suspiciously like honeycomb brioche.
They are the same thing. Just instead of knitting into the row below most people do a yo for first row and then ssk the next row.
There should be no reason to pick up the bar and then slip the stitch above it before you knit. Just pick up the bar and knit through the stitch above it. ✌️
Exactly. But this advice is for those with some experience in knitting.

I DONT GET IT!!! DX
I love their channel but they dont seem to answer questions....
Does anyone else also regularly wonder how on earth people come up with those stitches??
Relax guys! Here is this stitch but in the round.... czcams.com/video/vxg0idY71UM/video.html
Very complex :/
Hi, It is a little tricky to start with, but so satisfying once you get the hang of it!
The worsted name?
I've started knitting this stitch and realised I made a mistake. It's virtually impossible to unravel and pick up the stitches I am so confused I've knitted a fair amount and realised I couldn't correct it so started again now I'm so frustrated I've done exactly the same mistake and I have to unravel it because I can't correct it. Please please please can you make a video or just explain how to fix a mistake on the stitch I would appreciate it immensely
Hi! So sorry to hear you've had problems. Can I suggest you use a 'lifeline' when you work. You can see how to do this in this video: czcams.com/video/Q-279QBUWoU/video.html
Or just search 'using a lifeline when knitting' on youtube and you should find lots of help. This is the best way to avoid unravelling these complicated stitches.
I can’t concentrate on the knitting because of the music. Could not finish the video.
This design is not for beginners
Thanks
