I have tried to learn this stitch for a month now. I have picked up little things from all videos viewed (many) and finally- thank you- you made sense of it! Really helps to have a first and last knit stitch to keep my stitches centered. So to speak-
great explanation! two bits of info I found CRUCIAL that you included - needing to work a bit of length in order to see the stitch (I definitely had a moment where I thought I wasn't working it right for the first few rows, but stuck with it!) and the need to size down on your needles! thank youuuu ⭐
Glad it was helpful! Yes, definitely gotta push through that first bit of "aaaah this all looks terrible" and keep going, then the magic happens! Happy knitting!
@@dianelakata1308 thanks for watching! The continental knitters on our team say that they find knitting brioche continental even easier than English style - give the yarn a bump forward with your right needle tip, slip your stitch, and the yarn over makes itself. Let us know if you come up with your own method that feels smoother!
Hello! BRP is needed for brioche in the round - since the work is not turned, circular brioche uses alternating rounds of BRK and BRP to create the stitch pattern. Check out our Brioche 102 tutorial on our website for a full explanation! brooklyntweed.com/pages/brioche-102
Thanks for the cool video! I have one question though - how do you count the rows in brioche sticking? Do you count the vertical Vs, or does it work differently?
Hello! It depends on the pattern, but yes, typically you can count your rows by the knit stitches - each visible "row" will actually be two rows of brioche, since you work each row twice. Happy knitting!
Hi Jennifer! Jared is working garter selvedges on his swatch here by knitting the first and last stitch of each row - it's a nice way to keep swatches looking tidy, so you'll see us do that with our swatches in many of our tutorials. If you're knitting a brioche pattern, it may have you do something different on your edge stitches or you may just go right into your brioche stitches. Happy knitting!
@@BrooklynTweed_Official Thank you for reaching out. 👍🏻 I thought it was K at beginning and K at end edge but it was looking so knotty it didn't look good. I guess I was doing something wrong. So I switched to doing a slip stitch first, doing all the brk & yo then ending with a k. Its looking good now, not sure what its called though. Lol

Glad we could help! Figuring out what's going on with the yarn overs in brioche can definitely be a challenge!

I really appreciate how you take the time to explain the anatomy of the stitches; it makes the final technique very logical.
We're glad you found this helpful! Happy knitting!
Thank you. That’s a great tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
thank you, thank you, thank you...i finally get it!
Glad it helped! Happy brioching!
Excellent video! First time I've understood brioche 🙂
Thanks so much, Lauren! Glad it was helpful!
Really helpful, thank you!
Thanks for watching, Catharine! Glad you found this helpful - happy brioche-ing!
Thanks so much for sharing 💛
Thank you for watching!
Nice tutorial
Thank you Gayle! Happy knitting!
Very clear instructions. However, as a continental knitter I find that yarn over technique somewhat awkward. Any tips?

So brp is needed only for 2 colour brioche? Thanks

Can you explain the garter edging stitch. I thought you said it's just a k but its looking all kinds of weird for me.

@@jenniferturner7293 that's another great way to work your edge stitches!
How do we start, though. How do we get to where you began??
Hello! The set-up row instructions start at 8:19 in the video - or check out our Brioche 101 page: brooklyntweed.com/pages/brioche-101
Bummer I cannot see it well enough to learn😢
Oh no! We're working on making our tutorials bigger & brighter so they're easier to see!
