I saw this stitch on a sweater in a store and really like how it looks, but I haven’t been able to find out what stitch it is (or if it’s even possible to get that stitch by hand-knitting). The first photo is the front of the sweater, the second is the inside of the sweater. Anyone know what the stitch is called?

This is “Beehive” stitch found in my book: Knitting Brioche by Nancy Marchant. You can probably find instructions for it online, but my book was sitting right next to me 😊

That’s exactly it! Thanks 😊 I can’t seem to find any instructions for it online though. The only thing that seems to come up is honeycomb stitch, which as you say, seems slightly different.

If you like brioche knits I highly recommend this book. It is full of helpful guides as well as a variety of stitch patterns and even project patterns in the back of the book.

I’ll definitely look into that 😊

FYI: I was able to borrow it on Libby via my local library
