Heh -- I laboriously invented this myself a few years ago after my first brioche project. I wanted something reversible and realized that if I could combine brioche and ribbing, it would work. It took my some trial and error to persuade myself that the brioche yarn-over trick is a different way of doing knit-below.

Enormous kudos for mentioning how hard -- nearly impossible, in fact -- it is to tink fisherman's rib. Fortunately I don't make too many mistakes with a stitch this simple, but when a mistake happens, it is very VERY hard to undo.

Thanks for a great piece!

Thank you for sharing this stitch. Your videography and editing are fantastic! ❤😍

I don't understand why people say it's not the same stitch. It's the same stitch done different ways-- the knit/purl one below drops the stitch above and pulls it into the same position as the YO in brioche. I've literally been swapping back and forth brk/brp and k/p one below on this piece and I can't see any difference aside from how the stitches are being knit.

So pretty! You make it look so easy. Thanks for another great tutorial 😊

[dorothyrockwell]

You can achieve this look using all knit stitches. Every row is the same: *K 1, K 1 B * and that is it. Cast on an even number of stitches, work one row of all knit as set up then start the pattern. For people who don't like to purl it is ideal.

[monelleny]

It's a good idea to use life lines every few rows with this stitch, as it is not easy to reconstruct if you drop any stitches.

Thank you for an easy to understand tutorial. ❤

Fantastic! Do you have a video available or could you possibly make a short video that shows how to increase on either side the fisherman's rib so that it angles out to the right and to the left as opposed to making a square thank you thank you

Another great video Brittany! I love Fisherman’s Rib. My teacher taught us this lovely pattern at one of my first classes with her probably 10 years ago now. It looks so nice and is so relaxing to knit. Thanks Brittany!💕

[julianne]

A great tutorial! I was able to learn on first try! Thanks!

[axolotl.]

Such a great video! Thankyou so much for these tutorials, they’re such a perfect level for mid-experienced knitters who want to challenge themselves but also don’t want to go insane trying to learn overly complex patterns. Thankyou for your effort, it really shows in your vids!! ❤️❤️ ❤️much love💕💕

[marijkeschellenbach]

I love this pattern and am so happy to have found you. I knit socks (two at a time) mostly but sometimes I just want to do something different and I think I may just get myself some yarn and make a lap blanket using this stitch. Thank you for sharing❣

[ladylee]

Thank you for the latest video on the 6 different ways to cast on also I really love your videos you do such a wonderful job 😊

[YarnSmith]

Looks lovely. Thank you. Love these short tutorials. ♥️🤍♥️

What are all these comments about "what a great video"? Just blew thru row 3! 😭
Is it knit 2, knit 1 under and repeat?
Or knit 2, knit one under, knit 1, knit one under, repeat??

[Jess-jyqs]

This is such a beautiful pattern! And the perfect tutorial that I’ve been looking for, for fisherman’s rib. Thank you so much! I love your videos 😊

[evermateo]

Great video! I appreciate the tips and all the work you did on the swatching - as a new knitter I appreciate you!

[janaweaver]

Amazing video. You are so thorough. I'm wondering what are the brands of Needles you show / use in this video? The wooden set with the black caps look amazing and the metal ones are very blunt- which comes in handy for so many yarns I use- not to mention, the blue cord looks similar to the red cord on Chiaogoo ci oculars? So happy to have found this video, as I have a pattern that uses this stitch and was not very successful. It really helps to be able to see it in action 😀

I learned to do this stitch without pearling and it looks the same. Any even number of stitches, knit first row (setup row), EVERY row now will be: *K1, K1B (knit one below) *. Knit last 2stitches easy 😍

[vivianpowell]

I really like your teaching style and videos. I have a question involving the half fisherman's rib pattern where you P1, K1on the odd-numbered rounds and then P1, K1b on the even-numbered rounds. I am knitting a hat with this pattern, so using a circular needle.

Whenever I change colors in this pattern I like to work a set-up round just using knit stitches before starting the ribbing. Should I knit this set-up round in the first color or in the new color? Thank you.
