It's Monday, it's Tips & Tricks time! This week starts a series on Brioche- 2 color brioche in many ways looks like a k1, p1 ribbing with two colors, one prominent on each side of the work. A good first step is learning the technique in the round, one color does the knit round, one does the purl round. This video is step one, the set up knit round. Next week we will add the second color for a brioche purl round, and in 2 weeks the brioche knit round. After that, we will discuss the differences when knitting brioche flat.
Here is a list for recommended cast on for a cozy brioche cowl in the round. Use 16” or 24” circular needles.
Fingering weight yarn: US 5 (3.75mm) needle, cast on 190 stitches
Sport weight yarn: US 6 (4.0mm) needle, cast on 160 stitches
DK weight yarn: US 7 (4.5mm) needle, cast on 140 stitches
Worsted weight yarn: US 9 (5.5mm) needle, cast on 120 stitches
Chunky/Bulky weight yarn: US 10.5 (6.5mm) needle, cast on 80 stitches
Super Bulky weight yarn: US 15 (10.0mm) needle, cast on 46 stitches
Tips reviewed in this video:
Every other stitch in a brioche row will be slipped.
Slip stitches "purl-wise," do not twist.
Make sure yarn is in front before slipped stitches, so the yarn "wraps" the slipped stitch.
On this setup row, your mantra is: knit, yarn front, slip.
At the end of the row, wrap the last slipped stitch and leave yarn in front.
Hope you all are well and safe, and may your crafting journeys be full of joy and confidence.
Lots of love,
❤️ Rebecca

If you want some Sun Dragon Swag(!) you can order a Sun Dragon t-shirt straight from us (don't worry that it says "on backorder," that's just a reminder we need to place an order with the company, we don't have them in stock at our shop):
sun-dragon-art-fiber.shopligh...
or order it directly from Big Frog Asheville:
lovelocalwnc.itemorder.com/pr...
They are $20 (a bit more for 2X and up), and we get $10 from each shirt! There are 5 colors available, fair warning they are lighter colors of shirt than the mock-ups, and the logo is printed into the fabric, so it won't peel off.
I also offer Zoom lessons for extra one-on-one help, $15 a session (usually we limit these to 2 hours), or consider the more formal classes for instruction and projects at $25.
Current lessons rates can be found here, and you can prepay on the site, later we can coordinate our schedules!

Can’t tell you how many videos I have watched on Brioche. The way you explain the “why” behind the method is soooo helpful. You really are an excellent instructor. Grateful.

Been knitting for 7 years. Found the pattern THE FLAMING HAT my first brioche project Boy I messed it up never could figure it out.... I had to get help but still was to much for me. I gave up on the pattern for now. So now I'm watching your vid and learning how to take it one step at a time. I think you are a great teacher. going to watch next vid right now!!!

A million tutorials on line about casting on but, yours is the only one with charts, colors and exhausting details......

Why didn't you show the actual cast on? All of that drawing and explanation was exhausting to watch and then you changed the working cord to a different color? I guess you didn't show the actual cast on because you didn't think it was relevant but, actually, it IS relevant.... I've seen two color Brioche cast on and it was definitely done differently! .... and then the setup rows transitioned very nicely into the ribs and the Brioche stitches. Unfortunately, my phone quit unexpectedly and I lost all of the saved videos and now I'm searching for the Brioche cast on that I was learning to do a couple of years ago when the phone quit.. I am returning to knitting after several years of not knitting and the challenges, at my age, and with my limitations is significant. I'll figure it out eventually. You did a great job on your charts, BTW, it was just overload for me, personally. Thanks for your tremendous effort.

Hi there! I didn't show a brioche cast on because that is not the one I use, if there is a special cast on. Most brioche patterns I have done start with a regular (usually long tail) cast on, and then do a set up row, and then add the second color. It's not that I don't thin it's relevant, for the methods I know, I have already made a video for long tail cast on, and as you have noted, there is a lot of other information in my videos. Some people like he drawings, some people like the actual movement with yarn, some both- the benefit of my videos (I feel) and KZfaq is you can move around in the video to the part you like best! You may be able to look through your recently viewed videos or history on KZfaq even if your phone dies, I'm not sure. I hope you find the video again, I know others such as Very Pink Knits and Modern Daily Knitting have great videos as well. ❤️All the best, thanks for watching!
