Brioche Knit Tips: Cast on for a Brioche Stitch Shawl

This is my favorite cast on for brioche projects that start from a point and expand in size. I've used this method in the Great Wave and in the Blooming Brioche Shawl.
1. Start with a slip knot in your Dark Color ( or secondary color) and place it on the needle.
2. KYOK into the knot so that you have 3 stitches.
3. Slip 1, with the new color, Increase 2-8 stitches into the next stitch, Slip 1.
You are now ready to begin a brioche stitch pattern with 5-11 sts on the needle.
Cast on a lower number (5) for a narrow shape with a shallow slope. Higher numbers (9, 11) will make half circle or traditional triangle shapes. Anything over that will be more than 180 degrees. 17 stitches would create a full circle - it's too many stitches for most projects.

This took me over 20 tries to finally get but I am loving how my shawl is turning out, 🎉thank you for this

My first brioche shawl turned out great, some of my increases were a little too far up so the center sticks upward about 6 in. But when it’s worn it looks like a collar that flops down to offer a glimpse at the other side. In addition to providing that peek, it will do wonders for keeping my neck warm in the Minnesota winters. I am just starting another one using the lessons I learned from this first one

Hi, I'm new to knitting, I was wondering, how do I increase stitches (as in the y shape in the half-circle one)?

[@talinna91]

I do not understand how to do middle circle entirely...I try with the explanation but do not look the same

I'm trying to knit Kate Atherley's Omnishambles scarf but I'm having a hard time starting out. It looks messy and I cannot tell the difference in the two colors. The pattern starts out with three cast on stitches with a point. In your second example, could I use this method to make my point and the first few rows uniform? I'll give it a try. Your directions and demonstration is so clear. Thank you.
