How to Knit Brioche by ARNE & CARLOS. Easy and quick for beginners.

[@ARNECARLOS]

There is no particular set up. Just cast on (we do a long tail cast on). On the first row: k1 and sl1 with yarn over. Turn work and from there on, do as on this video.

[@annelokken9456]

Do you need an even or odd number of stitches?

[@annelokken9456]

Thanks for the explanation 😘

[@venialee8372]

Can you do a tutorial by castting a few stitches first and show us what you mean by turn work? Do you cast on even or odd number of stitches? Thanks

[@linhpham9408]

Love this video!!! Will you please consider doing brioche in the round? Thank you!! XOXO from U.S. ❤

[@reikiriecreations]

i'm gonna give it a try tonight ;)

[@omeninodocachecol]

I'm a brazilian knitter and I must say: after I learned norwegian way to knit with you, I no longer use any other technique. It's just incredible.

[@adriennerichter425]

I have tried both the Norwegian knit and the purl and find it very easy. I am not as fast as Arne, but it is coming. I love it.

[@RodriguesDri]

Same team here. Brazilian (MG) learning and loving this! Brioche is my next project FOR SURE!

[@deborahcoyle7612]

I love that the sketch at the beginning of the video has both poodles in it. 🥰 And Carlos’ sounds effects are brilliant!😂

[@ARNECARLOS]

Thank you!

[@megtiller4754]

Makes me want to try brioche your way

[@ARNECARLOS]

Give it a go!

[@katey7352]

OMG!!! I never had any interest in Brioche (beside the bake goods. Lol) and everyone make it sound soooo complicated. And now i want to try it, just for fun.😊 Thank you so much guys! 🤗🤗🤗😁😁😁

[@ARNECARLOS]

Give it a go!

[@carolinegetman2720]

I really need to learn the Norwegian Way...so much quicker! Love the new intro sketch with both puppies ❤️

[@carol5330]

I also taught myself Norwegian knitting by watching your videos during lockdown! And I love Norwegian knitting! Thank you Arne and Carlos, for sharing!

[@dorindacontreras1094]

Wow I was so intimidated to try brioche. Now I will have to try it!!! Carlos you cracked me up with the brioche grunt 😂😂😂😂 thanks guys! Have a great week!

[@danamcgrew8288]

Very excited to see you guys do the 2 color brioche. I've tried 3 different times to learn brioche and literally thrown each project across the room from frustration. Oh my word this is so much easier.

[@kdolguin]

I love the new sketch of you both and the both of the fur baby’s!!!!!!!!!!!

[@maggiebowden1399]

Yeh, I taught myself to Norwegian knit in lock down, plus to knit toe up socks .... loving it 😀thanks you two.

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@tjorven64]

You will never regret it 💞

[@irisandu2]

So did I, this past month, I've been trying all the new ways to hold the yarn. This is my favorite. I'm working on my first pair of socks, two at a time cuff down. when I tried two at a time toe up there were too many holes and I couldn't stand looking at them, so I started another going cuff down. I'll try it again after a while.

[@shannonb7263]

I’m with ya! I am (or I should say, I WAS) a continental knitter. I learned Norwegian with the Christmas balls. Then perfected my Norwegian Cha-Cha-Cha by making a Christmas stocking with my left over Christmas ball yarn. I can’t tell ya how many times I had to “pull the cord” in case of emergency!

[@irisandu2]

@@shannonb7263 I smile at myself when I catch my finger going up and I pull the cord. At first I have to stare at my fingers to figure out what's wrong. It gets more and more comfortable.

[@jenniferjones-ei8rg]

I'm so glad you taught me to knit Norwegian style before I tried brioche, Arne & Carlos 👏

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@fiberhag]

I finally started a project where I could use brioche, and I love it! This is the ultimate 'I can't be bothered' stitch 🤣

[@ARNECARLOS]

😂😂❤️

[@susanklinefelter643]

No wait!! I love the karate noises to demonstrate the knit!!!

[@naomimartinez-goldstick4181]

Carlos is getting saucy! Love it!

[@mariabergmann9084]

Like Arne says it was very popular back in the 80ties. My two sisters and I made ourselves a cardingan. Wish I would have kept it. But, yes, it is a very easy technique. Great for scarves and hats too. Thanks for the show!

[@lynnann96]

I’ve always knitted Norwegian way since grandma Nysted taught me as a tiny girl. I am knitting very boring shawl, but now I’m putting blocks of brioche into it! Much more fun!

[@robinphyfe5047]

Thank you for taking the fear out of learning Brioche!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@GodGunsGutsandNRA]

My brother is 20 years older than I, and he married a German girl, when he was stationed in Germany, and when he brought her to the US, she knew about 6 English words. I was 5 years old, and for some reason she thought that I was my brother’s daughter; not sister. She wanted to ‘bond’ with me, so she sat for hours showing me how to knit. My mother never knitted, so I was fascinated with this new thing. She could knit so fast, and watch TV at the same time, at I thought that was magic. She taught me to purl the Norwegian way; totally logical to me. The next Christmas my Aunt bought me a “Teach Yourself To Knit” book that had lots of patterns in it. The knitting instructions were a little confusing because it was the “English Throwing,” but the purling instructions were all wrong, in my young mind. I was 6 by that time, but I very ‘confidently’ went to my Aunt Dorris and told her that the people who wrote the book didn’t know how to knit. She told me that the book was written for Americans/English knitters. I told her, “well they are not very bright then; I tried doing it the way the book said, and if I did it their way it would take me an entire winter to knit a hat.” My mother scolded me for being rude, and made me apologize, but I told Aunt Dorris I appreciated the gift, that maybe she could use it to learn to knit, then we could knit together. That got me out of ‘hot water.’

[@lsdev4229]

WOW!...THATS BRIOCHE? thank you for showing me how easy it is. I've also heard that it takes longer to complete a pattern. If it's that easy it shouldn't take that long. Thank you so much for this tutorial, Sharon 🥰

[@Bobbieliz]

NOW brioche makes sense! Thank. you!

[@SStroud2024]

WOW WOW WOW! Thank you. I have always been scared of brioche because I have seen multi-color brioche designs. This video should be shared with all knitters and we will all be doing brioche!!!!! Amazing in less than 8 minutes you changed my thinking! I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR YOUR VIDEOS!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome and we are glad that you are not scared anymore😄

[@joyceward5477]

I have watched so many videos and tried brioche, hated it and never understood it. This is a revelation!!!!!

[@audreydawn6349]

I can only learn from you two. Knitting is so hard. I am trying to make a sneaker sock. My Dutch friend made me a pair of sneaker socks years ago and I love them. Please teach me how to do them. I love you both. I want to be best friends. Have a great day. So glad I found you. Been knitting for 3 months.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Keep up the good work!

[@joanconca3541]

Thanks so very much for teaching the Norwegian way of knitting Brioche. I've always wanted to learn how to knit Brioche, but I've been hesitant because I thought it was difficult. You have opened up a new knitting world to me....Brioche!!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

Happy knitting!

[@carolyncampbell6149]

I’m determined to learn to knit Norwegian style! I’m encouraged to hear Carlos say that he doesn’t knit as fast as Arne - now I won’t feel so intimidated!

[@angelagaither6439]

I love your interactions with each other. Yes, more patterns since you don't have any patterns in brioche that I see. Always a fan.

[@daor775]

Carlos you are so funny! I was intimidated with brioche but I made a scarf with cables in brioche in two colors!!!! I love watching you both knit and talk! Thank You!!!!!

[@mysticmaven6261]

Did I really witness Carlos at a loss for words? 😮😀😉 Love you Carlos ❤️😍😀

[@kiddycar16]

That was my thought as well.Also,that Carlos was having fun!

[@GardeniaMagnolia5]

Spent Sunday teaching myself how to Norwegian way of knitting 🙏🤗🤗🤗omg my hands feel great God bless you both and I appreciate your teaching. I work 6 days a week time is limited and this is enormous for me 🙏 THANK YOU

[@ARNECARLOS]

Well done!

[@svs1551]

I want to knit beautiful things like that when I grow up! (I’m 60-something.)😋 You guys are so much fun to watch. Thank you for the chuckles and grins.

[@Marie-lp4ey]

It’s all about the brioche (and Norwegian style knitting!!! I’m a convert! 🤗 Thanks guys! Love your shows 💕 (Hi, Helmer 🥰)

[@TheSuzberry]

This is so fun to watch.

[@virginiamclaren7571]

makes so much sense...the first time I ever understood brioche...thank you

[@ARNECARLOS]

You're welcome Virginia!

[@ksmall2716]

I am very happy to say that Arne taught me to knit Norwegian style over this covid period. Now I've found another good reason for this style. I was disappoint though with today's video, since you didn't show how one is to cast on and start knitting Brioche. Hopefully in the next video you'll show us that. So glad to have you both back and with a healthier Carlos.

[@MUM2Erlangen]

If I were not occupied with crocheting your beautiful blankets, I would start immediately knitting a scarf in brioche stitch. But i will start after finishing the project. During the pandemic I learned so much from you both. Thank you so much. Your videos are always very funny and informative. Take care.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are glad you like them!

[@sandrabryant4325]

I enjoyed learning how to knit brioche and once my finger heals, I will give it a go … thank you Arne & Carlos

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome Sandra!

[@CreativityWithStamps]

In LOOOOOOVE with this brioche method!!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@kathwhit6462]

Needles on my lap, scrap yarn in a bowl at my feet... This is absolutely great. Love your presentations AND encouragement.

[@lindawellinghoff5432]

Well now I have a new challenge. First, Norwegian style and then Brioche. Thanks so much

[@cynthia78carrasco]

I have never heard of brioche before. Does it make the fabric stretchy? Like for the collar? I am so glad you are feeling better and back from hospital now. You guys have brought me up when I am down... My son passed away 1 month ago today. He was 20 years old. Keep being yourselves. Now is the gift. Right now. It is a special one time only offer. No returns. Keep enjoying the gift. The present. Thank you ♡

[@BarbrajoanOriginals]

So I’ve been knitting the Norwegian way all my life? I’m now 80 and was taught to knit by my Italian grandmother when I was a child. We keep the yarn over the finger in back. Who knew?? 😆. And I’ve NEVER heard Brioche. Except in bakery. Tallahassee Florida 👍

[@gabrielecarter5440]

Yes, Brioche is easy! When I learned it I became addicted for almost two years: nothing but brioche. Finally I was able to wean myself and now I sometimes go 5 or 6 months without a brioche project on my needles!! But when I need to relax I still go for brioche!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

yay!

[@antoinettemccollum729]

Wow. That is soooo easy the Norwegian way. Brioch scared me too, but not like this. Way to go guys!

[@britdowson8324]

Norwegian knitting is awesome!!

[@shaynaformity1384]

I was thinking of knitting a brioche blanket, but I get tired of using one color and wondered how stripes would look in brioche. Thanks for showing single-color stripes. Now I know it will work!

[@folkartjane]

Hi Guys! Im shocked too. I HAVE been scared of it! Now I'm fearless! 😁 Thanks & Blessings as always

[@dianemcmahon1063]

Fantastic demo. I learnt to knit norwegian style from you two and now this stitch. Thankyou.

[@scrabblehounds]

I’ve always knitted the continental way. I thought that was fast. But just a couple months ago I learned how to knit and pearl the Norwegian way from Arnie’s video -which is much faster. I’ve always avoided brioche knitting because I heard that it was very hard to do. Now I’ve been inspired to give it a try. I have also taught my coworker to knit. She’s only been knitting a few months and she already knits the Norwegian way and knits almost as fast as I do now. Thank you so much for your tutorials.

[@KKnits]

Oh, that is I much smoother way to brioche! Thank you!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@marybreinholt3688]

You’ve done it again! Awesome tutorial of brioche knitting. I have steered clear of brioche but I learned Norwegian Knitting from you two so...I know I can do it!!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You can do it!

[@willow9526]

My first pullover I knitted, was in brioche. Was 13 years old. 🌞😊 Keep all healthy !!! 👍👍👍

[@genevievep2]

learning Norwegian style of knitting a couple years ago changed my life and it does my brioche way easier because of the yarnover.

[@stitchersdelight]

Wow, I can't believe how easy this is ! I have avoided it because I thought it was more complicated ! Thank you ! See you Wednesday

[@mialady01]

Broiche was made me want to learn to knit. When I found you both, I learned.to knit. Also I saw that Norweigan knitting would make brioche easier.

[@foots-qt4pk]

You guys inspire me! I've been a self taught knitter for 51 years but never ventured beyond Irish Knit sweaters and size 7 needles.. Since finding you during lockdown I have become addicted to socks, cuff down and toe up, I have made a top down sweater with a lace panel from a provisional cast-on, a raglan top down sweater, cowls, mittens and GLOVES!!! lol! I have done colorwork and steeking with a Dale of Norway pattern in the past but was always disappointed because of my tension, and Brioche is confusing to me. My goals for 2021 are to learn Brioche and practice, practice, practice my colorwork. I LOVED Arne's knitting by the fireplace videos and I knit along with him in a companionable silence. LOL! and when Freya barks and you guys say, MOOSE MOOSE! my wee dog barks and I say, FREYA FREYA! lol! All this is to say I have loved spending time with you guys and WHY CAN"T WE BE NEIGHBORS?? lol!!

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are so glad you found us and great 2021 goals!!!

[@gisellenorbury2369]

You did a great job knitting Carlos

[@anitasmith9914]

Omg didn't realise how easy. These past 4 years I have been learning basics for scarfs and fingerless gloves. Next year is gauging and sizing for hats and socks. I am loving these videos. I have learned so much. Thank you both and all the production team. ❤💋

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

Great easy now learned something new thanks to you two👍😊❤

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@joharmon2148]

Its good that you show folks that you can still be learning new things Carlos. Someday I am going to learn how to knit. Right now beading strands and making other crafts. It was time to find something new while self isolations continues. Thank you Arni n Carlos for keeping your channel real!

[@ericallerton809]

Oh! That looks Easy! Going to try now,,, Thank you both,,, Elaine🏡🏡🏡

[@jeadams51]

You two encourage me to try so many new things. When you said brioche was easy if you knit the Norwegian way, that was all I needed to hear. I found a two color tutorial and it is quite easy the Norwegian way. The yarn over , two together is a nice, fluid movement. Like Carlos I’m not afraid anymore and if I see a pattern with some brioche I won’t overlook it. Once again, thank you!

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@cherolynwolf5913]

I knit the Norwegian way, thank you Arne.

[@ARNECARLOS]

Great!

[@origamilady9960]

I really look forward to learning two color brioche with you two, both circular and flat. I ❤️ your videos. Once I switched to Norwegian style knitting as you teach it, knitting became SO easy.

[@ARNECARLOS]

We are so glad to hear that!

This is genius! Thanks for taking the mystery out of Brioche!

[@joycerickman8830]

I learned to knit brioche 8 years ago with throwing the yarn or wraping the yarnover, then purl slip then k2 together. Was more work to do so, though I found a rhythm. I love Arne's norweigian way to do the easy brioche pattern. Have been doing brioche once again.

[@KSt-nv8eb]

Arne, you're a gem; and Carlos, you're my hero for trying this. You both taught me something :) UPDATE: Since I wrote this post I have been a Norwegian Brioche Knitting Fool! Please have more videos with this technique...both flat- and in-the-round. I'm shocked how easy and enjoyable :) Thank you!

[@joycechapman262]

Thank you for this video. Learned something new. Have knitted over 50+ years and never knitted this pattern. Never too old to learn. God bless💕

[@GaminGawdess]

I am speechless and Arne I love the slick way you were retrieved your microphone😂

[@ARNECARLOS]

😂

[@irisandu2]

I loved the opening sketch. Oh my goodness...thank you so much. I was nervous about trying Brioche too, but now, when I find a pattern, I won't be. Also, Arne and Carlos, I want to say that for the past months, I've been practicing different forms of knitting. I think I've tried them all, but when I watched your "REVISITED How to Knit" podcast, and heard you say that the needle holds the tension, I went back and tried the Norwegian way of holding the yarn, and I want to say...MAHALO! I got it, it's so easy, I'm not worried about tension and I don't want to stop knitting. I keep telling my dog, one more row then we'll go to bed, then I get "the look." I'm knitting my first pair of socks and I seem to be breezing through it. P. S. So happy you are back, but I still love sitting with Arne in front of the fireplace, it's one of my favorite "go-to" videos for peace and quiet time.

[@NYKnitter]

Thank you , you have made this so easy.

You can!

[@feliciabanksintuitivecryst8290]

Enjoyed watching you both. I am fortunate to have learnt to knit the norwegian way over 7 years ago, when staying with family. Will be giving this stitch a go, when I have finished knitting my second pair of mittens 😊

[@karinanderson7319]

Thank you for taking the scary mystery out of this technique!!! Arne, I love that you lost your mic, found it, and replaced it without Carlos even noticing 😂🤣

[@clarefriend1376]

FANTASTIC! I have tried this stitch many, many times and just gave up. This is very easy . TY Arne! The verbal cues really helped too Carlos! I learned the Norwegian way to knit during lockdown watching you. Yes patterns! Moose, moose🦌

[@ARNECARLOS]

Glad you liked it!

[@miekebodewits6018]

O no!!!!!! Now I need to try. Thanks for this easy looking video of brioche which was on my list to learn during quarantine. Thanks to you both I learned double knitting, Norwegian knitting and thanks to Arne’s firework-knitting working from home is so much more comfortable. Love you both

[@annelokken9456]

OMG, I cant believe how easy you’ve made this look! I like Carlos have never tried the Brioche stitch because it looked so complicated! Thanks 🙏

[@ARNECARLOS]

You are welcome!

[@michellewaite2961]

After watching your video, I practiced a little bit before I went to bed. Then all night long I kept dreaming about the brioche stitch. So I got up early and started a scarf. The yarn I am using is from an old sweater that I got at Goodwill, or a charity shop. It was wearing out, so I took it apart and am using the yarn to make the scarf. So easy!

[@ARNECARLOS]

😂we hope you will get some sleep!

[@gillianr2159]

I knitted a brioche hat a couple of years ago and said never again, but very tempted to try a scarf or cowl using your method. Carlos taking off his glasses made me smile as I have been doing the same whilst knitting black socks.

[@JS-cv3ih]

[@dyannevandenheuvel3511]

Thank you. I am so happy you are going to do brioche with us. I have purchased books and online classes to learn brioche and then discovered the instructors were “throwers.” I figured it out, but it has been a challenge and thus avoided. You are excellent teachers. Here we go!

Wow!! I bought a book to learn brioche knitting and after giving it a quick try I thought no, this is too hard. Your way is a revelation though! I’m going to try it the Norwegian way now. Yay!!
