The actual knitting part of helix knitting isn’t complicated, but keeping the yarn balls organised to avoid tangling the yarns requires a little concentration.

Brioche increases and decreases, Continental style and English style. brk: brioche knit also known as bark, knit the stitch (that was slipped in the previous row) together with its yarn over. brkyobrk: Two new stitches spring out of the center of one stitch with this increase. Work a brkyobrk as follows: brk1 (leave stitch on the needle), yo (yarn forward under needle then over needle to back), then brk1 into same stitch. 2 sts increased. brp: brioche purl also known as burp, purl the stitch (that was slipped in the previous row) together with its yarn over. brLsl dec: (2-stitch decrease that slants to the left, involving 3 sts) Slip the first stitch knit-wise, brk the following two stitches together, pass the slipped stitch over. brRsl dec: (a 2-stitch decrease that slants to the right, involving 3 sts) Slip the first stitch knit-wise, knit the next stitch, pass the slipped stitch over, place stitch on left hand needle and pass the following stitch over. Place st on right hand needle.
