![How To: slip stitches wyib or wyif
Learn how to slip stitches to create columns of elongated stitches or create an i-cord edge as you work! This video covers slipping stitches on the RS, the WS and at the edges.
0:50 - sl1 wyib
2:39 - sl1 wyif
3:41 - sl3 wyif
Abbreviations:
- sl: slip a stitch purlwise
- wyib: with yarn in back
- wyif: with yarn in front
If you want to follow along for practice I have used a worsted weight yarn and a US 8 (5mm), 24” / 60 cm circular needle. I have cast on 36 stitches.
Rows 1-4: Knit to last 3 sts, sl3 wyif.
Row 5 (RS): K3, p8, sl1 wyib, p12, k1, p8, sl3 wyif.
Row 5 (WS): K11, sl1 wyif, k12, p1, k8, sl3 wyif.
Rep [Rows 5 and 6] to practice all 3 skills.
If you’d like to put your sl1 wyif skills to good use, you can knit up my pattern, Athenaeum: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/athenaeum

![How To: 1-Color Brioche in the Round (updated)
Learn the steps necessary to start a 1-color brioche project, worked in the round.
This video is a replacement/supplement to the video originally created 3 years ago (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQbrSPQC0EM) when I was a newbie to creating video tutorials. I hope you find the speed and explanations in this new video useful!
Abbreviations:
- brk: brioche knit (knit the st together with its wrap)
- brp: brioche purl (purl the st together with its wrap)
- sl1yo: slip 1, yarnover (with the working yarn in front, slip the st purlwise, creating a wrap as you move the working yarn into position to brk or brp the next st)
If you want to follow along I have used a worsted weight yarn and a US 8 (5mm), 16” / 40 cm circular needle. I have cast on 80 sts (roughly the quantity needed for an adult-sized slouch hat) and joined in the round, placing a marker to indicate the beginning of the round.
Setup Rnd 1a: *K1, sl1yo; rep from * to end of rnd (note that the last st worked will be a sl1yo).
Setup Rnd 1b: *Sl1yo; brp1; rep from * to end of rnd.
Rnd 2a: *Brk1, sl1yo; rep from * to end of rnd.
Rnd 2b: *Sl1yo, brp1; rep from * to end of rnd.
Rep [Rnds 2a and 2b].
If you’d like to make a 1-color brioche hat I have a free pattern available on Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/b-to-the-three
