Daisy Stitch Knitting Brioche Pattern
This pretty vintage Daisy Stitch knitting pattern really pops when you use 2 or more yarn colors. I love how the brioche knit rows of daisies knit up with a bit of thickness. This knit stitch pattern makes a sweet baby blanket, cozy scarf, or summery purse.
Along with up-close photos of my knitting samples, you’ll find links to all the techniques, a free printable written pattern, and a full video tutorial flat on straight needles. I hope you are inspired to give this beautiful brioche stitch pattern a try!

Brioche Daisy Stitch Knitting Pattern Construction
- Bottom-Up: The knit stitch is created from the bottom up.
- Texture Design: This is a thick brioche stitch pattern. The burst of stitches create a daisy flower design.
- Stitch Repeats: The texture is created with a 4-row repeat knit stitch pattern that easily lays flat.
- Not Reversible: This is not a reversible pattern, because the pattern is visible only on the right side of your work.
