This Bee Stitch Pattern is a vintage Brioche knit, which means it’s light, fluffy, has some great dimension. It’s great for knitting scarves, hats, blankets, and sweaters.
Along with up-close photos of my knitting samples, find links to all the techniques, a free printable written pattern, and a video tutorial below.
Brioche Stitch
The Bee Stitch is not a reversible pattern, because the Right and Wrong Sides are different. Although, I think the wrong side has a clean look and still looks nice when visible.
The knitting technique Knit One Below stitch helps this pattern get its unique texture.
