- Welcome! This little video demonstrates who to work two color brioche flat for Continental style knitters (aka Pickers) who hold their working yarn in their left hand. If you are a English Style knitter you can head here: • Two-Color Brioche Work...
Abbreviations:
MC - Main color
CC - Contrast color
K - Knit
P - Purl
STS - Stitches
BRK - Brioche knit; knit the slipped stitch and it’s “yarnover shawl” together as one stitch.
BRP - Brioche purl; purl the slipped stitch and it’s “yarnover shawl” together as one stitch.
(YF-)SL1YO - Bring yarn to front of work (if it is not already there), sl st purlwise, wrap a yarnover around the slipped st. (YF is only included on "brk" rows, since the yarn already hangs to the front on "brp" rows.
RS - Right side
WS - Wrong Side
Swatch Instructions:
Cast on an odd number of stitches with your MC yarn. (I am using DK weight yarn on a size US 6 circular needle.) I just to cast on 15 stitches.
Setup Row 1A (RS): K1, *yf-sl1yo, k1; repeat from * to the end of the row. Drop your MC yarn and slide your stitches back to the beginning of the row on this side. DO NOT TURN.
Setup Row 1B (RS): Slip 1 stitch, join your CC yarn, *brp1, sl1yo; repeat from * to the last 2 sts, brp1, drop CC so it falls towards you on this RS of the work, slip the last stitch and turn so the WS is facing you.
Pattern Repeat
Row 1A (WS): Using MC, p1, *sl1yo, brp1; rep from * to the last 2 sts, sl1yo, p1. Drop your MC yarn and slide your stitches back to the beginning of the row on this side. DO NOT TURN.
Row 1B (WS): Using CC, slip 1 stitch, *brk1, yf-sl1yo; repeat from * to the last 2 sts, brk1, drop CC so it falls to the back, slip the last stitch and turn so the RS is facing you.
Row 2A (RS): Using MC, k1, *yf-sl1yo, brk1; repeat from * to the end of the row. Drop your MC yarn and slide your stitches back to the beginning of the row on this side. DO NOT TURN.
Row 2B (RS): Using CC, slip 1 stitch, *brp1, sl1yo; repeat from * to the last 2 sts, brp1, drop CC so it falls towards you on this RS of the work, slip the last stitch and turn so the WS is facing you.
Repeat Rows 1A/B & 2A/B until you feel darn good about brioche!

• Brioche!
This is by far the best video on two color Brioche I've seen here on UA-cam. I'm still struggling with getting the stiches right. But, I'm not giving up!!
Your instructions are so clear! I am still going to have to watch this probably 20 more times, but I completely understood everything you were doing!
Thank you for writing this out in the notes in addition to the video. After knitting along with the video, the notes section really solidified my understanding of when I do what. So helpful!
Thank you so much for this most helpful video and for including written instructions too! I tried several other videos but couldn't make sense. With yours it just seems like the most natural thing to be doing. Though I keep wanting to purl my S1yo's!!
Thank you for this tutorial. It was super helpful. I find your explanation so clear and easy for me to understand. I am now set to brioche away to my hearts content.
It's as though you read my mind. I have been working the last 2 days to teach myself Brioche and along came your clear, concise turtorial. Thank you
This is the best instructional video I have seen for Brioche knitting, and the fact that you knit Continental style makes it even easier for me because I just can’t do it English-style, and that’s what all the other videos seem to be. Thank you!
Thanks for making brioche understandable! ❤
Thank you!!!! I get lost when I knit or brioche purl. This is much clearer.
The Yarn over is, indeed, a subtle movement, like you said. I appreciate your lightness. It helped get me out of my frustrated, "I can't get it!!!!!!" mind frame. And I was able to get it! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this. I'm doing my first brioche project, a cowl and you might not think this would be helpful but it solved my problem! I'm a continental knitter and trying to figure out how to ergonomically go from a slip purlwise to a knit without losing the yarn over. So simple when I saw you do it! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
THis is the best explanation and demonstration I've seen of this technique. I still may need to watch a few more times but now it makes sense to me.
Thank you for this video. Your instructions are very easy to understand. I really appreciate having the written instructions, as well. I printed them and follow them as I go. It really helps knowing on which side to drop my yarn at the end of a row, because I was getting the the twists of the contrasting color showing on the edges . The tip to put a marker on the right side also helped. I have knitted a few inches, but at this point, I can't look at my work and tell where I am, so I am being very methodical in doing each row, and every little bit of help is appreciated!
I just knew you’d have an awesome video and explain it soooo well, thank you Andrea so much!
I’m just starting a test knitting (I do them a lot) BUT I’ve never tried brioche before....yup and going to do a sweater.....kinda nervous but mostly excited!
I’ve knitted for xxx years (let’s just say dozens lol) and never tried brioche but this video made it honestly look much easier than I ever though, I was super intimidated until now, so thank you so much for all you do for the fibre community! Barb.
Yay! so happy you found it helpful. Good luck on your test knit!
Thank you! You're an excellent teacher. You've taught me so much.🤗🥰
Andrea thank you so much. Your videos are so clear I just want to thank you so very very much I’ve been watching somebody else’s video over and over and over and couldn’t quite get it the first time I watched your video it just clicked so thank you.❤
Thank you so much for this ! I have worked 2-colour brioche in the past but was having trouble finding my rythm again, and I never seem to be able to find tutorials continental style… Thank you ✨
Danke 🙏
Thank you but still can’t figure when to knit or purl. Some sort of rule of thumb would help.
I've avoided brioche because people get spooked by it. You make it not look so scary , so will have to try it.
Thank you, Andrea! I started brioching thanks to you! Maybe it is because of burps and barks :)? Anyway, you made this very clear and helpful. Best regards!
you're incredible! Thank you very much for this tutorial
Thank you Andrea for this clear tutorial!!😊🥰
Ahhh! This FINALLY makes sense to me! THANK YOU!! 🥰
Thanks again for sharing, very helpful info 🌹🌹🌹
This is excellent, thank you so much! ☺️
Easy to follow. Thanks.
Thanks you for teaching ❤ 😘
Ok, this was easy to follow for my first time trying this, but if I put it down I’m not sure if I should be knitting or purling.
I think I’ll be pinning a progress keeper to the side I’m to start back up on when I put it down, just my thought for now anyway, maybe that’ll help?
I get confused for the last stitch, sometimes you slip it and sometimes you knit it, is there a trick to remember? Otherwise a very clear tutorial 😊thank you
Hi there! The edge stitches are only worked with the Main color. So on right side rows when you do the main color pass, you will knit the first and last stitch. Then for the contrast color pass you will just slip them without working. On wrong side rows you will purl the first and last stitch with on the main color pass and again just slip them out of the way on the contrast color pass :)
Impor-ent?
