Thanks for posting this, especially this year! Was able to focus on a lot more projects and try some new things. Going to try a 2-color brioche hat with this cast on.( Will also finish the top with flexiflips.)
You can use this cast on method without the tubular rows if you prefer! Once you've cast on your desired number of stitches, you can go right into your 1x1 or brioche ribbing.
thank you for this video! I am new with brioche and i couldnt understant why you knitt the blue stitches since you said that they were set up as purls. which have a bump eventually? bacause you mentioned both... I got confused...
Our apologies! At 8:24 Jared says that the pale blue stitches are purls and the pink stitches are knits - it's actually the other way around on the side that's facing the camera!
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial! I am knitting my first brioche project, and yours was the most helpful video I found! I am a little confused, though, about the selvages, because I am doing a hat in the round. So I’m a little unsure about how to treat those those first and last sts. Also, it would be great to see how and when you would join sts for the first round.
Hi Whitney! Glad our video is helpful! Great question about the selvedge stitches, you can just ignore those completely, so you'd be working your tubular rows as: Row 1: (Knit 1, slip 1 purlwise with yarn in front) across. Row 2: (Slip 1 purlwise with yarn in front, purl 1) across. We definitely should do a joining in the round tutorial - that's one of those really mystifying steps! For the tubular cast on, we like to work the tubular rows flat and then just start knitting in the round when those are done - there will be a little gap that's easy to sew up with your yarn tail when you're all finished with your project. Happy knitting!
@@BrooklynTweed_Official Thank you so much for responding! Admittedly, I have tried and failed several times by now to go from this cast on through the transitions and into brioche itself! But now - hopefully! - I will be able to get it right! Thanks again!
@@whitneyherriage908 You'll be all set with an even number of stitches! (Just remember to NOT count the slipknot as a stitch since you'll be dropping it later.)
Hello, thank you for this very clear video, i'm a beginner in brioche and i have a question, do i make "my set-up row" of brioche normally right after this cast on ? Thank you.
Hello, thank you for your question! To work in the round after using this cast on you'd simply use a backward loop for your last stitch as mentioned in the video, then bring the first stitches of the cast on row to the other end of the needle so that they're on the left needle tip, place a marker on the right needle for the BOR, and join for working in the round by working into the stitches on the left needle (making sure the ring of stitches is not twisted). If you chose to work the tubular rows, you'd work them as rounds instead by working the first as [knit 1, slip 1 wyif] around with the color used for the "knit" stitches, then the second as [slip 1 wyib, purl 1] around with the color used for the "purl" stitches.
After knitting the two tubular rows, you say your ready to go right into brioche, but other videos talk about set-up rows/rounds. Are your tubular rows the same as the setup rows? Or would there be setup rows after the two tubular rows? Thanks
Hi Whitney! For brioche, after casting on your stitches, you'd work your brioche setup rows instead of the tubular rows (the first row of both is the same). Happy knitting!
@@BrooklynTweed_Official Je parle français e je ne comprends pas . Est-ce qu'on répète toujours le 2 premiers rangs? J'aurais aimé voir tricoter plusieurs rangs. Merci de votre attention.

Hi Elaine! Great question! The Italian tubular cast on method works well for 1x1 or 2x2 ribbing (to use for 2x2, you cast on the same way and then rearrange your stitches as you knit your ribbing) - you could definitely experiment and see how it looks with a 3x1 rib! Ysolda has a great post on various tubular cast on methods that you might find helpful: ysolda.com/blogs/journal/tubular-cast-on
Awesome demonstration. I am just attempting my first brioche hat and started with my standard 1 colour tubular cast on, but I didn't like it. Your demonstration and explanation is so clear, thank you. 😀 What determines the MC? Would it be the first cast on stitch is always MC or is it the first knit stitch cast on? Or is the first stitch that gets cast on must always be knit stitch therefore that is the MC? Also when you have completed the cast on and started the tubular row, is there a specific reason why you worked the blue yarn first rather than the pink? How do I know which colour to work first? I won't be using a selvedge stitch because I will be joining in the round after the tubular row.
Hello, thank you for your questions! The MC is typically determined by the pattern you're working, as is the color you work with first after finishing the cast on. Typically the knit stitches will be worked in the MC and purl stitches in the CC.

Holy wool! The backward loop to finish the CO is genius!
Thank you! (It's those little things that make all the difference!)
Wow 👌🏽Thank you. Merry Christmas 🎄 2023
Thanks for watching! Happy knitting!
The #1 knitting channel for me. So clear and instructive. I’m so happy to have found you!!
Thanks so much! We're glad you're here!
Wow! Best explanation I have seen. You are a gifted teacher.
Thanks so much! Happy knitting!
So much clearer than the one where they were weaving the yarn over needles This is so clear Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! Happy knitting!
Clear, informative, and concise. Great tutorial video. Thank you!
Thank you for watching! Happy knitting!
That backwards loop idea is BRILLIANT. Thanks so much for this - I’ve done this cast on many times but learned a bunch of ways to improve!
You're very welcome! The backwards loop really saves the day!
Ahh, clear and concise, thank you!
Thanks so much! Happy knitting!
This was so helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
Fantastic instructor! Thank you!
I am wondering what happened to the part where you begin the brioche.
This is stunning!!! I can’t wait to make my own. Thank you for this video ~ super clear and details 💕

You got this!
I always like this cast on Nancy Marchant uses the backwardsloop too but nottbe Tubular Row I may try that looks nice finish. Thanks for the videos.
Hi Drea! Thanks for watching! The tubular cast on really does give such a nice finish - well worth the effort!
is there a tutorial for the non tubular method, i like how the finished blanket edge looks

Is there a bind off to match the tubular rows?

If you are knitting a 3k 1p rib, would you cast on in this pattern too? Thanks!
oh, I just heard you say it's for 1x1 ribbing only...I guess that's my answer?

Where should we have the main color - over your thumb or over your pointer finger to begin?
Hello! Your main color should be over your index finger to start.
Thank you! Reminder: slip knot should not be included in stitch count.
It's in the video and in the description, but I counted it. Not next time!!
Pesky slip knots! Thanks so much for watching!
Awesome demonstration. I am just attempting my first brioche hat and started with my standard 1 colour tubular cast on, but I didn't like it.

What determines the MC?

Hello, thank you for your questions! The MC is typically determined by the pattern you're working, as is the color you work with first after finishing the cast on. Typically the knit stitches will be worked in the MC and purl stitches in the CC.
Sadly those two colors are exactly the same for this color-blind knitter! Still, good technique to learn. Thanks!
Oh no! Thanks for pointing that out so we can do better in future tutorials!
