Fantastic instructions. Again, I wish I had known you a few months back. I have you now, subscribed and saved! You are my new bestest friend, we knit together nightly! I hope I didn’t keep you up too late last night! I fell asleep with you on the iPad just talking away! Lol Many thanks and keep the great tutorials and make-a-longs coming! I have my brioche shawl on the needles and a Musselburgh hat going and am trying a swatch of the lace panel on the Pink Fizz sweater by Andrea Mowry, but I am not liking it, so may reclaim the yarn and look for something that I will like to knit and wear. A good video might be…when to stop a project or put it in time out for when we have more bandwidth in our brains or have better skills to tackle it. (Without the guilt)!
Thank you so much for this video! I am working on my first brioche project and I thought I had fixed a row about ten rows down but it was wrong and I just couldn’t live with it. I’m only using one color (thinking that would be easier) so I had to muddle through without the clues of another color. I’m still not sure it’s perfect, but it is much improved and I don’t think anyone will notice. One thing I did in the rows above that I knew were right was put a stitch marker in each loop that went into the rib in front -both to tell me they were the correct loop to grab but also to hold the other yarns in place. Then once I got the problem worked out, it was easy to chain back through the rows that were correct all along. Thanks again for the whole series but especially this one!
Thank you! Just successfully dropped down and fixed a stitch in my brioche bandana cowl! This video made it easy! I’m hoping you’ll cover weaving in ends in brioche as well
I'd love to see a video where you go over the anatomy of a brioche stitch - sometimes I make a mistake and I can't figure out exactly where the mistake is - if I knew the anatomy of a brioche stitch better, I could see where the issue was.
My series on brioche started with basic stitches, which might help? It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but not sure I can explain it any better than in those videos- every stitch has a wrap of the other color…….. ❤️
Hi Jennilyn- for one color brioche, in many ways it is similar to two color, without the tips of alternating colors to help identify what is going on. On one row you are brioche knitting and slipping/wrapping the purl stitches, and on the next you are brioche purling and slipping/wrapping the knit stitches- “reading” your stitches for knits or purls can help you stay on track. If it’s part of a pattern, the pattern writer may want you to do something different….🤷♀️ if I can I’ll try to make a video- 2 color brioche really is my favorite! ❤️❤️❤️
@@SunDragonTipsTricks finding videos on one color brioche dropped stitches is nigh impossible. I just found your channel and love the level of detail in this video

Hi Fatima- thanks for writing. I used the translate on my phone to see what you were writing me. I’m sorry to hear that a lot of your stitches are spoiled or messed up- I used to do more video-chat lessons at the beginning of the pandemic when our shop could not be open to the public, so I had more time for these lessons. Now that we are trying to have the shop open more regular hours it is hard to find a time where video chat or zoom conversations would work- is it possible to run a smaller needle through the stitches on a row before the stitches were messed up, so you could pull your work out to that spot? 🤔🤔🤔I’m not sure how far you’ve gone on your piece, sometimes that means ripping the whole thing out😞 With brioche if too much has gone awry, it can be hard to easily fix, especially if we are trying over video/FaceTime/Zoom ❤️❤️❤️
I put "Life lines" in every 5 rows...on my 7th round something went WONKY. I tried to fix it. It worked! But something else went sideways I had to pull down to my life line. Right between the my beginning of round at the stich marker is were got off track. I was so sad that I had to start over. But before that I decided to intently drop some stiches and watch this video practice dropping and picking up stitches. I think I'm going to call the you gals next time when I get into a pickle!
I suggested more videos before but I'll suggest again and add one! Here's my add one: You are doing 2 color brioche and have a 4 stitch increase successfully done. You are on the next row right about it or maybe even two rows above it and discover a mistake in an earlier part of the row and decide to tink back to that mistake. But in the process, when you get to that 4 stitch increase you accidentally drop one of the increase stitches (tinking them is easy so I'm not talking about that. . . you actually DROP what you had increased into that one stitch and the whole thing unravels). Can you rebuild that? Other videos: unknit or tink a left leaning decrease and a right leaning decrease in two color biroche. And another video: tinking the very end stitches in two color biroche. . . purl and knit ends. Thank you!!
Hi Linda- if you’re tinking on something like that, you’ve backed out to that spot on that row, and you can “kick” all the increases off and rebuild it. If you dropped only that section down, that’s more complicated, but could possibly be rebuilt. In rereading your comment that is what it seems has happened. I will suggest that all specific questions like this are more of a one-on-one session rather than a video. Videos take a lot of time, energy, and editing, and this sounds like something very specific to a pattern, where the writer’s increase may not be what I try to film regardless. Skills like that are often best built through working together and coaching. I not only have in-person sessions (with masks), for the Sun Dragon community that is not local I have Zoom sessions, both are $15/hour. For that email me at rebecca@sundragonartandfiber.com ❤️
Another follow-up as I believe you’ve mentioned it twice- tinking edge stitches is a bear- often I “over-pull” and recreate/re-knit/purl the edge stitches as they are hard to decipher, one stacked on top of the other.
One more tack-on: I may not be able in the near future to film a video on this specifically, but when I drop a section down like this, I take the “ladders” or strands that have unraveled and try to redo the instructions, which so often tight but doable- so the first ladder would recreate the increase just as the instructions say, then slip the stitches back to the other needle and work with the other color, and rebuild. It’s a more advanced skill, which as I mentioned above is best learned one-on-one to your specific issue ❤️
I stopped watching because i dont think this will address my “issue,” and i wanted to say the drawings you made are a wee bit misleading. When recovering or repairing from rows below, the contrast color forms all the tight ladders while the working color are the loops and usually doesnt lie across how you show in these drawings. Easier to SEE that you go over one (bottom) rung of opposite color, then under two rungs of opposite color, then pick up the loop of same color that is lowest down, etc. my brioche doesnt look like these pictures when i drop down to repair. All ladders are the same color, and the loops/contrast color are like worms all over the place and i have to tame them out to see the lowest down one to grab. Maybe that is peculiar to me……? But, my issue is for when you have a traveling brioche, as in a pattern such as a leaf and therefore non-brioche rows may be above/below the brioche you need to repair. I am unclear how many ladders i am looking for if it is the first brioche or final brioche in the column/pattern. I keep messing up the adjacent stitches and i eventually just took out all my knitting to fix. Is there a video for repairing brioche in a column of non brioche stitches? Or when it is mixed in a column with multiple brioche then multiple straight knit or purl? Thanks for reading and considering my input. Your videos are amazing, i just found this one a bit misleading/confusing for me given my experiences. Maybe it gets clarified and I skipped it because i didnt see my particular issue being covered.
Hi Elise, thanks for your comment. I agree parts of this are somewhat confusing, but it’s a complicated thing to do. In my description I mention that I tried it and filmed a whole piece, and then realized it wouldn’t work. I had to figure out how it would work and redo it, which is the final product. If you look at the first minute, yes not all the strands will lay perfectly, you do have to figure them out. Drawing that hot mess would be complicated and probably not help. I also mention as I color code the drawings that the strands will be different tensions and you’ll have to straighten them out to figure out what is what. You’re absolutely right, this video is not about traveling brioche, and I was not intending to mislead anyone into thinking that it was. It is solely for straight two color brioche, you are correct that a traveling brioche would be more challenging, and since I haven’t done a ton of that, I don’t feel well versed on that topic. That would probably come with more trial and error. Honestly if I was working on that kind of project and made a noticeable error far down, even I would probably have to rip back. Again, thanks for the input. This is a challenging technique, and even I often rip back rather than dropping down to fix mistakes. I hear that your interpretation of my drawings took them to be misleading, I did mention the strands need to be untangled/straightened out and deciphered, and it definitely may not be a helpful video if you have embedded brioche. I wish you all the best on your crafting journeys!. ❤️Rebecca
A follow-up after rewatching out of the video- I may have addressed the first part of your comment more in the section where I demonstrated the technique on actual yarn, it starts about 14:30. Definitely doesn't cover when it's embedded in other knitting that is not brioche, however.❤
The best, most helpful explanation that I have seen on dropped brioche stitches. Thank you!
I just used this video yet again to rescue some brioche. It is simply the best knitting education video ever!! Thank you ❤
Absolutely brilliant series of tutorials, thanks Rebecca
Thank you so very much! Just had to rip back my brioche - and this video helped me save the weird things that happened.
Why is it I found you just now.? I subscribed not to lose you. Thanks again🌸🌼🌹
Thanks!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I performed the surgery successfully, due to your divine instructions. Rebecca, thank you‼️😊💕🧶
This is an amazing video. Your instruction style is great. I used this video to fix 4 rows of P1below and k1below.
Thanks!

Saved my shawl!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍🤩
Yay!❤️❤️❤️
Fantastic teaching - thank you
You're amazing, thank you!
Thank you!!! This is such a helpful video and saved me from a knitting breakdown haha
Absolutely fantastic.Explanation very gratefull.
Thanks Marta, this one was a challenge to figure out, but I do love a challenge! ❤️🤔

I’m doing a series on the Brioche Bandana Cowl, I’ll see what I can do about weaving in ends 🤔🤔🤔
Seriously saved me!!! 👍🏼🤩

This is my first time doing brioche. I doing a stevin west m kal , so this was very helpful 👌
Glad it was helpful! Enjoy the Stephen West project, they are always a fun challenge :)❤️
Half Fisherman’s rib, I hear is similar but not the same. Maybe that could be video series, since I am seeing it in a few popular designs.
One color brioche?

That is not so hard to do....LoL Again great job. You really took alot of time doing these vids.
