Thank you so very much for this excellent video! I used this three years ago when I was first learning how to do brioche. It was the most helpful video that I watched. I am about to start a brioche project and my mind immediately went to you saying knit, purl, purl, knit. This time around watching it I picked up many more tips. I will watch it over and over again. Thank you so much for this short, VERY helpful video.

[@cymanthasanderfer7082]

Thank you so much for this video! Every video I've watched tells you a different way of doing this stitch and none that I watched explained the pattern, or color sequence. Now I get it! Finally after 2 days of non-productive videos and countless yarn rip outs! Thanks angin from a now happy knitter! 😊

[@caffinnascreations6948]

I have tried learning brioche from videos for over three years now. Your's is the only one I learned from!

[@user-zp9yp8bd2c]

This video has saved my a$$ so many times over years at this point 😂 It is literally the only aid that makes brioche understandable, and even easier!, for me - even when I’ve screwed up and had to back-track. Thank you!!!!

[@msmachiavella]

The best tutorial explaining two colour brioche. Thanks so much

[@HippyMomInPittsburgh]

Thank you so much! I must have watched 5 other tutorials prior to finding this. Thank you! Clear, calm. You did a super job.

[@glazedtalons]

Omg! I totally get it! No one has ever explained brioche to me like you did! You are a brioche knitting angel 😇. Thank you so much!

[@barbarabarningham6014]

So, so brilliant. I've been knitting for more than 60 years and always wanted to try brioche stitch. Now mastered it, thanks to your brilliant tutorial and, most importantly, your tips for recognising which yarn and whether to knit or purl the row. Thank you very much.

[@jillwellman8999]

Excellent Video!! You speak to how my fingers move and what my eyes should look for. Much better than trying to read written descriptions and still pictures. I think I’ve got this!! Thank you!

[@Vgladstone1]

omg, thank you. After 2 hours of frustration, I watched YOUR VIDEO and it made it clear!

[@mariecepkauskas2166]

Best video on brioche. Makes sense after trying so many others. Thankyou.

[@amberrector7450]

Thank goodness I found you. I've watched and frogged and watched and frogged. You nailed it with clarity and good repitition! Thank you so very much!

[@sharonmorris2898]

I have never done a Brioche pattern before. You explained it so simple. Thank you.

[@LSE2048]

I've been trying to learn this stitch with no luck but now I've managed it. Thank you.

[@lindanovak7232]

I agree with others that this is by far the best video for brioche. I have watched several videos, and even watched an online course and I just could not get it straight. You made it very simple so it was easily comprehended, and now I do believe I have it. One thing you did that others have not done, is used larger needles and yarn than you might ordinarily use, so it was easy to see what you were doing.

[@suzannedu419]

I agree - your video is much better than other brioche tutorials I've seen. Saved it on my Pinterest. Thank you!

[@redjewel5579]

Thank you so very much. This attempt to get it right was successful and looks like two-color brioche, instead of a checker board jumble.. You were clear and thorough. Great tutorial!

[@lallaward2862]

You are a really good teacher, you totally get how to make something clear; I think often those who know something forget what it’s like for those who don’t, and take things for granted, rush on when it just isn’t clear to a beginner. Despite your absolutely excellent instructions I found myself having to recast-on about six times after making mistakes in the second or third rows and being hopelessly incapable of un-knitting…much easier to start again! And my learner woes are added to because I knit Portuguese style (totally recommended!!!), which entails an added level of complication in the learning process. But I’ve finally managed to keep going and keep on track. I think one of the hard things with this stitch is that ‘reading’ your work actually makes it worse when you are first learning, and the first few rows, as is often the case in many stitches, look completely wrong and awful until you’ve had the courage to struggle on for a few more. Then it all starts to make sense and look like it should and you feel this overwhelming sense of achievement!! Thank you so much for making clear what was a total fog to me when I watched other classes. I’m so glad to have found your videos.

[@suzanrudulph4141]

This is the 1st video that i could actual learn to brioshe. Thank you😊

[@neenagupta723]

This is excellent. Thank you! Clear and precise! It was like sitting beside my mom and learning how to knit

[@karenrichmond7547]

As a continental knitter who purls like a Norwegian, I had some difficulty following your tutorial. So, I went to other tutorials and got even more confused! Well, I came back to your tutorial and after several views I think I finally got the hang of 2 color brioche. I was surprised that many other tutorials didn't start at the set up row; but the just demonstrated the technique mid-project. That's why I think your tutorial is the best!

[@manishathapa-gurung935]

I tried so many videos finally I got it from yours… thank you so much 😊

[@karenribby5920]

Nice to find a tutorial that a person could understand! Thank you!

[@glazedtalons]

Thank you for this. I feel much more confident about knitting brioche now. 👍

[@the_firstdraft]

Oh my gosh I feel like your video is the only one that made sense to me with minimal replays 😅 thanks so much!!!

[@secilkesci8331]

What a fabulous tutorial. I have looked at many and got nowhere. Thank you Charlotte. You are a fabulous teacher!

[@XxJxFreakxX]

After many headaches, you have enlightened me and I cannot thank you enough for this video! Now - ONWARD TO BRIOCHELAND!!!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!

[@geriinglis9087]

Not sure why people didn't like this video. It was very clear and explained the concept very well. Good work!

[@arealcanine2573]

Fabulous. Coming back and not knowing which end to slide to.....HUGE thank you!! and everything else.

[@thelmajerez1823]

I can't thank you enough to be so clear and concise, and to have explained it the best way I've seen it so far :-)

[@colettekaracapolos1549]

Hi from France! Thank-you so much for this tutorial. I learned the brioche stitch a few years ago but in a different way (row 1, knit all stitches, then it's a one row repeat : knit 1, knit the stitch below ,end each row by knitting the last 2 stitches). Then I watched your tutorial about the brioche stitch and now I can manage both ways.😊 Now, I'm gonna try the 2 color brioche stitch. Thank-you very much. You sound so enthusiastic and that helps a lot. 👍👍

[@riveririsblue]

Thank you, you are brilliant and so kind!!! This is excellent, and yay, I finally am able to do brioche knitting!

[@krissyrenick9139]

Oh thank you so much! You are a Wonderful Teacher! Clear, calm, precise. It is so helpful when you told us what you were going to tell us, then you told us, then you told us what you had just told us! The repetition was very helpful to reinforce understanding. 👍. I am new to knitting and will be following your tutorials with gratitude. Thanks again. Krissy.

[@spiralskysparadyse4437]

Thank you for this video. Your video is the first video of 12 that I was able to successfully complete a brioche swatch. I’m you helped me to understand the basic whys and when’s of this stitch. THANK YOU :)

[@ConnieCrochets]

OMG! You give the best instructions for this than anyone! I finally get it. You explain how to know where you’re at and what to do! A light bulb moment! Thank you so much!💕👍🏻

[@shelshel2260]

You are an awesome instructor...Thanks for your wonderful help...best brioche video on youtube

[@AlaskaDonnaG]

Thank you, I now can brioche. You made it understandable

[@MsSluggoP]

Very good, I agree. Watched a couple others that just didnt keep my interest going and got frustrated. Now I'm on track to learn! Thank you so much!

[@tamarahaines7108]

Holy frickin cow!!! I think I finally have it! Thank you so very very much

[@anikabennett810]

Oh Charlotte, I wish you were back teaching, I love your videos!

[@MsFuzzyBuddy]

This helps SO much. Thanks for making so many things clear!

[@terienglish7554]

Very good tutorial. Instructor is very clear and patient. She repeats enough times that you will get it. I would highly recommend this video for beginners of Brioche. Thank you.

[@prabhatimilton7112]

Great teacher. Thank you sooooo much

[@tamaracherkashina525]

Agree, but it'd be better the yarns will be of more contrast colours

[@musicalgirl1388]

[@andreamori8153]

Thank you so much!! Finally I manage to learn it… as an English style knitter, it’s always so hard to find good videos, you are a great teacher, congratulations!!

[@knitfrogknithopoi2057]

Wow. This explanation is sooo clear. I’ve taken two classes. (Ok I’m a slow learner) and was unable to understand what I was doing. I never got past about 2 series before all I had was tangled string. Thank you so much

[@novablondie]

Wow, there has never been a stitch pattern to frustrate, confuse, almost defeat me but this one, like this one. THANK YOU!! for making it simple to understand. oh my gosh!! I agree, best tutorial for it ever!

[@margotfaubion7662]

Simple, clear directions, repeated every row, very helpful! Thanks for not using berk/bark names as they just confuse at the beginning. I sharred this with a friend just learing 2-color, and she loved it too!

[@conniedalton5360]

Holy crap!!! I got it!!! You have my undying gratitude. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@mlledonerse]

I don't usually leave comments, but I really wanted to thank you for that video, you did an amazing job here. All the tips and explanations of the pattern are crystal clear. Thank you very much.

[@irisclark2901]

Girl🙌👏❤ I would of NEVER EVER thought I can do Brioche especially not two colors..I watched you last night and could not stop knitting..its so much fun..oh and I messed up all the way to three rows (didnt pay attention to my color lol)but had no problem froggin it back.Easy peasy . THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!❤🤗and the tip with on or two in the beginning (knit or purl)saved me ,big time but I also could see the knit or the purl.

[@susanengland8289]

Thank you thank you thank you. I feel like I won with your help ❤️❤️

[@VideoTapestryClips]

The best video by far for learning brioche in my opinion. WELL DONE! 🙏👍💜

[@stephanieduley8835]

I have knit a couple of sweaters in one color brioche and wanted to learn to knit two color. I watched many videos, but they were very confusing. Yours was so easy to grasp...Thank you so much for breaking it down for me. You are so awesome!!!!

[@PattyPlace]

your explanation is the only one that is totally clear and understandable. Thank you so much!!!

[@victoriaburgess5868]

Thank you, your instructions were great, love the ways to remember where you are. 😀

[@juditgor525]

That was the adsolute best explanation ever! 1000 tumbsups for you!,,,,,

[@helenmarshall843]

Great video. Just watched for the first time but after just one viewing I feel Like i will eventually be able to Brioche. Thank you so much for teaching at the beginner level!!!

[@joanneyoung1081]

Thank you for the helpful tips. They really make it clearer.

[@kMeijer]

Two words: YOU ROCK!!

[@crystalpoole1560]

I watched and listened to this video multiple times, and thanks to you I can say that I can knit Brioche.

[@suecooke6837]

Thankyou for explaining this stitch so well and now I understand the pattern.

[@annethompson8105]

Thank you so much for doing this. The tips about how to figure out knit or purl is a game changer

[@tholl1973]

Just had an “AHA” moment... thanks so much!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@amyspross1385]

Kudos to you! Thanks for the tips of what to look for at the end of rows. I don't know how many times I took them apart because it was so confusing especially for a beginner. I have finally able to knit at least 4 inches without making mistake.....thanks a lot!

[@fludrbywest3886]

Aww it’s knitting, I don’t knit but it looks beautiful❣️❣️🤩

[@sarahbreedlove5701]

This is the clearest instructional video for brioche that I have seen so far. Thank you!!

[@Leigh1131]

Thank you so much! Great tips especially for how to “read” the stitches and the rows so you know where you are and what you have to do next. Thank you! Thank you! I think this has allowed me to quit avoiding patterns that are brioche.

[@lewzgirl1969]

Thank you for your clear & simplified tutorial. I had put down a brioche scarf I started about a year ago and couldn’t for the life of me remember where I was in the 4 row pattern repeat or even what those row patterns were lol. Thanks again for helping me to get back on the rails.

[@undercoveryarnsnob5784]

Fantastic tutorial!!! I probably never would've caught on without the tips for reading my work!!! I'm brioche'n like a pro on only my second cast on!!!! Thank you!!!

[@lawandachavez4027]

thank you! This was the best demo I've seen so far! Thank you!

[@mearly48]

Just found this excellent video. I was able to figure out how to do brioche! Thanks so much

[@Jimba01]

Brilliant job in explaining how to knit this stitch.

[@ladycraftsalot83podcast]

I have to admit she explains it very well and has two contrast colors that works I am happy to try this stitch being that I was nervous at first

[@joanoltman3555]

Thank you so much! I finally understand where I am after setting my knitting down and picking it up again!

[@lois659]

This takes concentration and practice. Your presentation is very well done. I enjoy listening to this over and over. Thanks.

[@quernuscrafts]

Thank you! I'm just learning 2 colour brioche, and your explanation is definitely the clearest so far! I've been looking for the fundamental rules of brioche knitting, and you've stated them perfectly :) (1) the slipped stitch on its own is always in the colour you've just knitted, and (2) the first two stitches of each row tell you whether it's a knit or a purl row. Simples! Thank you again :)

[@valeriecarroll6811]

You are an amazing teacher. Thank you 👏👏👏

[@scarletkitty4826]

Great video - very well explained - I paused between steps to knit mine AND took notes to keep in front of me. I've not seen other tutorials mention how to tell what type of row it is which is SUPER important. Thank you so much!

[@santafeli]

Your instructions are the best. You are the only one who shows clearly the telltale signs of what comes next, so the initial confusion is gone. Nothing to memorize, when you leave your work and come back to it later, you always know how to tell where you are and what to do next. Thank you very very much!

[@lisasmith3955]

Thank you so much for your step-by-step instructions. I have watched numerous videos on the 2-color Brioche stitch and no one explains it as clearly as you. I love that you explain how to read your work after you put it down. This is so helpful! Great job!

[@leafullerton5611]

Great video. Finally understood the process.

[@lindagauthier-morin9522]

Love your tutorials. You really are a great teacher. Thank you so much.

[@laurafolle9409]

Thanks a lot! After 3 days trying, I could. I don’t speak english but just looking millions of times I did It!💪🏻

[@ScarRavenInk]

That's incredible! I'm sure your project will be beautiful!

[@BenitaSprow-mm8bg]

I’ve watched many videos of this stitch and yours was the the only one that explains the knit side from the pearl side. I caught on faster this way. Thanks ❤ 15:07

[@katjaamyx2922]

Yes, you made that very clear! I appreciate how you gave the outline and then kept reinforcing where you were at each step. It looks crazy as you're doing it, but your explanation makes sense of the apparent chaos. Thank you.

[@jessicalippe1]

Omg thank you so much I almost gave up on this one. I think the lady I watched had her pattern messed up. I tried so many needles & yarn. Thank you so much. Xoxoxox. Your the best.

[@dianehickox8774]

Wow. I have always been intimidated by any pattern that incorporated the "b" word stitch!! I think after watching your video I could actually do it!! Thank you. Very well done!

[@adiayarnarts2567]

This is the most understandable. I still have to watch a few more times though.

[@Knitsta]

Thanks, your video was very helpful in explaining when to knit and when to purl and what color to use. Very clear instructions.

[@Sunflower-hq4lu]

Thanks a lot for your tutorial. Your instructions are really clear. I get it now!! After viewing many videos, I can tell you, yours is the best!!

[@yvonneking9497]

You're an excellent teacher thank you 😀

[@catherinemccaskill9055]

Other videos didn’t ever explain how to determine which color to use next or how to determine which is a knit row and which is a purl row. This was extremely helpful.

[@normavance4613]

Very well done. Not confusing at all. Thank you.

[@lwright622]

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I am just learning brioche knitting. This is a huge help.

[@enelocinlv]

Very nice tutorial. I think I now have the hang of a simple brioche in two colours. I love the pointers to orientate you in terms of where you are in the knit. 😊

[@Buttonsginger]

You've saved Me! Thank you so much for this clear and helpful tutorial!!

[@caitlynwahlstedt231]

You are amazing! I have been trying for weeks to learn! And I’ve knit 3 inches of brioche with now mistakes! Thank you so much.

[@whitneyprice145]

You covered what most tutorials neglect: how to "read" your stitches! It's not enough to know the mechanics of a complicated stitch; you have to know how to troubleshoot, too! Thank you! I can't wait to try some of the fabulous brioche projects on Ravelry!
