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, sweaters, and knit neckties! The knitting technique K1B Knit One Below stitch helps this pattern get its unique texture. Along with up-close photos of my knitting samples, you’ll find links to all the techniques, a printable written pattern, and video tutorial.
