This BRIOCHE Crochet Stitch BROKE THE INTERNET! (The Secret to 3D Texture)

For the pattern, I'm casting on a number of stitches that is a multiple of 12 plus 2 stitches. I will cast on 38 stitches. The stitches are cast on and I'm moving on to crocheting the first row. Let's look at the sample. The first row will consist of many small short segments and it will go from the right edge to the left edge. The second row is crocheted in a single segment and it goes from the left edge to the right edge. The third row is again crocheted in a single segment and it goes from the right edge to the left edge again. Then the fourth row again consists of many small short segments and it goes from the left edge to the right edge. Then the fifth and sixth rows are again rows made of a single segment which go from the right edge to the left and return back. And with that, the height of this pattern will be complete. So, the first row. Chain 1 to turn. I insert the hook into the second chain from the hook, into the back loop, and I crochet 8 slip stitches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. The first segment is ready. Second segment. Chain 1, turn. I yarn over, insert the hook into the second chain from the hook, and I crochet 6 yarn-over slip stitches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The second segment is ready. Chain 1, turn. And again, 8 slip stitches. As always, starting in the second chain from the hook, I crochet all the stitches in this pattern into the back loop. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I'm reaching the step. This means I need to join it to the row below. I insert the hook into the bar, and into the row below, into the back loop along the direction of crocheting, and I make the 7th. And into the next stitch, I make the 8th. Chain 1, turn. And the next segment is again 6 yarn-over slip stitches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Chain 1, turn. And again, 8 regular slip stitches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I reach the step. I make the join. I insert the hook into the bar, into the row below, that's 7, and into the next stitch, that's 8. Chain 1, turn. Again, I yarn-over, and again into the second chain from the hook. I'm making yarn-over slip stitches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Chain 1, turn. And now, 14 slip stitches. So look, effectively, we have completed this element, and now we are moving from this petal to this one. You see, there's a long section here, and here I need to crochet 14 slip stitches, regular ones, not 8 as it was in the previous steps. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I insert the hook again into the bar, into the row below. That's the 7th join. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. And we are moving on to crocheting the next one, a leaf just like this one. The repeat will start here. A repeat is the part of the crocheting that is repeated over and over again. So the repeat in the first row. Chain 1, turn. I yarn over. Into the second chain from the hook, I insert the hook and crochet 6 yarn-over slip stitches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Chain 1, turn. 8 regular slip stitches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I insert the hook into the bar, into the row below. 7, 8. Chain 1, turn. 6 yarn-over slip stitches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Chain 1, turn. 8 regular slip stitches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I insert the hook into the bar, into the row below. 7, 8. Chain 1, turn. I yarn over. 6 yarn-over slip stitches. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Chain 1, turn. 14 regular slip stitches. And this will be the last segment in the repeat. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I insert the hook into the bar, into the row below. 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. And with that, the repeat in the first row is finished. So next we go back to the beginning of the repeat and crochet it again, until the foundation chain is finished. So that will be 6, 8, 6, 8, 6, 14. Again, 6, 8, 6, 8, 6, 14. And so on. Here I will work one more leaf and show you how this row ends. So I'm finishing the first row, and here at the end I'm modifying the repeat slightly. According to the repeat, there should be 14 stitches here, but I don't have enough space for 14. I only have space for 8. So I'll crochet those. I've made the chain 1 and turned, and now I'm crocheting 8 regular slip stitches into the back loop. I reach the step, insert the hook into the bar. The row below makes 7, and the last stitch into the last spot makes 8. And look, my first row is now complete. It went from the right edge to the left. Next will be the second row. It's very simple. Chain 1 and turn. It's worked as a single section. I yarn over, insert the hook into the back loop of the second stitch, and work yarn-over slip stitches. In total, there will be 38 yarn-over slip stitches in the second row. That's exactly the number I cast on at the beginning. If you cast on a different number, you'll have that number. If you did the same as me, you'll have 38. So, I'm reaching the first step in the second row, and here I'll make a join. Since I'm working yarn-over slip stitches, this join will be on the right side. It will look a little different. I insert the hook under two strands, like this, and I yarn over. And then I bring the hook into the row below, into the back loop. I grab the working yarn and pull it through all the loops on the hook. It's an element like this. This is the kind of join you get. I make this type of join when I'm working yarn-over slip stitches. So, here's the rule. If a row is worked with regular slip stitches, then I make a regular join. If the row is worked with yarn-over slip stitches, then I make a join like this. I insert the hook under two strands, then yarn over, into the row below, and pull the loop through all the strands on the hook. Anyway, I'll work like this to the end of the row. I've finished the second row. It went from the left edge to the right. See? It connected all those little steps. And next will be the third row. It's almost the same as the second. So, chain one, turn. But the third row, on the contrary, will go from the right edge to the left. We will work it with regular slip stitches. I insert the hook into the second chain from the hook, into the back loop. And I work slip stitches. Here, there will also be exactly 38 slip stitches. This number should not change. So, my third row is ready. And now, let's look at the sample again. Next will be the fourth row. And the fourth row, here it is. It again consists of many small short segments. The only thing is that in the fourth row, these leaves are arranged in a checkerboard pattern, relative to the leaves of the first row. And accordingly, we need to do the same thing. So, look. We started the first row with a full leaf, so to speak. I'll call this element a leaf. So the fourth row will start it from its middle. So, look how it's done. Chain one, turn. I yarn over, and the first segment is two yarn-over slip stitches. One, two. Chain one, turn. And the next segment is two regular slip stitches. One, two. Chain one, turn. And the next segment is four yarn-over slip stitches. One, two. I insert the hook under two strands, yarn over. Three, four. Chain one, turn. Into the second chain from the hook, I start the next segment. Here, I'm working four regular slip stitches. Chain one, turn. I yarn over, and here, six yarn-over slip stitches. One, two. Three, four. I reach the step, make a join. Five, six. Chain one, turn. And the next segment is again six regular slip stitches. One, two. Three, four. Five, six. Next segment. Chain one, turn. And here, I'm working 14 yarn-over slip stitches. I start, as always, in the second chain from the hook. One, two. Three, four. Five, six. Then comes the join. I insert the hook like this, under two strands, yarn over, into the row below. Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve. Thirteen. Fourteen. Chain one, turn. And the beginning of my fourth row is ready. It's this one. This, this is this element. And now, I will start crocheting the repeat. So, how is the repeat done in the fourth row? Actually, the numbers here are all the same as in the first. The sequence of numbers is exactly the same. Only the stitches are swapped. That is, what we did in the first row with regular slip stitches, in the fourth row, we work with yarn-over slip stitches. What we did in the first row with yarn-over slip stitches, in the fourth row, we work with regular slip stitches. So, the first segment in the repeat. I've made the chain one and turned. And here, I work six regular slip stitches. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Chain one, turn. Eight yarn-over slip stitches. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. I reach the step, insert the hook into the bar, into the row below. Seven. Eight. Chain one, turn. Six regular slip stitches. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Chain one, turn. Eight yarn-over slip stitches. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. I reach the step, insert the hook under two strands, yarn-over. That's seven. And eight. Chain one, turn. Six regular slip stitches. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Chain one, turn. Fourteen yarn-over slip stitches. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. I reach the step, make the join. That's seven. Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven. Twelve. Thirteen. Fourteen. Chain one, turn, and then I repeat this repeat, this sequence, again and again. Fourteen yarn-over slip stitches. That was the last segment in the fourth row repeat. And then I work again. Six. Eight. Six. Eight. Six. Fourteen. And so on, to the end of the row. Let's meet at the end of the row. I'll show you how to finish the fourth row. Here, you see, it's a bit only half of this leaf remains. And I'll tell you the sequence of stitches here to make this kind of finish. So, finishing the fourth row. I've made the chain one and turned. And now I'm working six regular slip stitches. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. So, basically, I'm still trying to work the repeat. I won't have enough stitches for a full repeat. So, I'll just work as many stitches as I have left. Chain one, turn. According to the repeat, there should be eight here. But I have nowhere to work eight. So, I'll only work six. Six yarn-over slip stitches. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. Chain one, turn. Here, I need to leave two stitches before the edge of the step. So, that makes four slip stitches. One. Two. Three. Four. Chain one, turn. Here, four yarn-over slip stitches. One. Two. Three. Four. Chain one, turn. Here, again, I need to leave two stitches before the edge of the step. So, that leaves only two slip stitches. One. Two. Chain one, turn. And here, two yarn-over slip stitches. One. Two. Chain one, and turn. And look, the fourth row is now ready. And then, the fifth and sixth rows. In principle, we've already done all this. The fifth row will go from the right edge, and it's worked towards the left. It worked as a single section, and it will gather and work all of these little steps. And the sixth row, in the opposite direction. It will again go from the left edge to the right, as a single section. And it will return to the starting point. So, the fifth row. I've made the chain one and turned into the second chain from the hook. I'm working regular slip stitches. I reach a step. Here's a regular join. I insert the hook into the bar, into the row below. And again, regular slip stitches. Another step. Again, I insert the hook into the bar, into the row below. Another step. Again. I'm working regular slip stitches. I'll work like this to the end of the row. The number of slip stitches will again be thirty-eight. That's again the number we cast on at the very beginning. So, use this ratio to check your work. If your initial number of stitches matches the number of stitches in these rows that are worked as a single section, then you're doing everything right. If you have a discrepancy somewhere, it means you've made a mistake somewhere. Row five is done. Now for row six. Chain one. Turn. Row six. This is also a row that is worked in a single section. Here, I just work thirty-eight yarn-over slip stitches in the back loop. And with that, the height repeat of this pattern, of this sample, will be complete. I've finished crocheting the sixth row and completed the height repeat. Next, repeat from the first to the sixth row to the desired height. Look, here is my larger sample. I've repeated it here one, two, three and a half times. Why did I do that? If you want to make a blanket, I recommend finishing not with the sixth row of the repeat, but with the second. So, I've worked the first, and here's the second. It will just look prettier. Because if you finish with the sixth row, look, your edge is a little... These halves make for a not very pretty edge. But if you want to use this pattern for, say, a cowl or a hat, or maybe a bag, and you need to join this project into a tube like this, then of course you need to finish with the sixth row. Because right now, I've finished with the second, my checkerboard pattern isn't aligned. I'm missing some rows here, right? So then, finish like this, with the sixth row of the project. That's all for me. I hope you enjoyed this video. Thanks in advance for your likes, subscribe to the channel, ask questions in the comments. Thanks for your attention. Bye-bye. One small clarification that I make in every video, I almost forgot to show you in this video. This is the right side of this pattern, and this is its wrong side. If you want the right side and the wrong side to look the same, then make all the stitches in this pattern yarn-over-slip stitches. I was making a one-sided pattern, I always make one-sided patterns, so I did one segment with yarn-over-slip stitches, and the other segment with regular slip stitches. But if you need a two-sided pattern, you don't need to change anything else. The only thing we change is that we work all stitches as yarn-over-slip stitches. That's it, for real now. Bye!
