- This video demonstrates the 2-color Italian (or tubular) cast on, which gives a nice, stretchy, professional looking edge to your brioche or double-knitting project.

YES!! Finally figured it out with this video - and on my first try! Covers all of the details in a way that’s so simple and easy to follow.
I’ve watched them all & I think yours is the best! Will you be my teacher for brioche?!
Happily! I have a few brioche videos here on my channel, or if you’re looking for something more in-depth, I’ll be teaching Beginner Brioche and Beyond the Basics as virtual classes through River City Yarns in May.
Excellent tutorial!!!
Thank you!
The part that always confused me I was able to conquer by chanting "under both, under one, under both, under one" as I cast on.
Just to offer another perspective/simplification
Under front, wrap needle counterclockwise with the back
Return needle from Under the front (like normal knitting)
Under the back, wrap needle ccw with the front
Return the needle from under the front (like purling)
Repeat.
You're basically knitting the color on your index finger to the front and treating the other color as an already existing stitch that you're knitting through, then purling the color on your thumb to the backside of your work and the index finger color is the "preexisting" stitch that you're purling through.
So again,
Knit "through" the thumb color
Purl "through" the index color
Repeat.
It works, but when you asked on 80 stitches for a beanie, it’s completely twists on the cable. What do you do?
I use a normal needle to cast on and after that I switch to the circular (cable) needle.
Do you have a link to the moon cowl pattern? Love that!
Unfortunately no, not exactly. That was a design prototype that eventually morphed into the Hypatia cowl, which was originally published in Pom Pom magazine and is now available as a stand-alone pattern in my Ravelry and Payhip stores. However, Hypatia is a mixture of double knitting and double stranding (aka marling), where the prototype was only double knitting.
Carissa, are double knitting and brioche one and the same?
No, they’re definitely different, but they both work beautifully with an Italian cast on. Double knitting creates two layers of fabric, typically stockinette stitch with the purl sides facing one another. Basic 2-color brioche is a type of ribbing where all the columns of knits are one color and all the purls are another color. I have tutorials for both techniques on my channel, if you’re interested in learning more!
Bonjour🥰
How after a few inches...I want to knit Brioche. I have 144 stitches, so 72. Now what do I have to do ? 1 row purl or one row knit. Merci. Johanne
I have a whole series of videos for brioche, starting here: ruclips.net/video/HDmlbcdLbPk/видео.htmlsi=nFyfhsvbpMdA1KLY
