Perfect! Just what I was looking for. Thank you!

[@Melmaz32]

Oh my gosh! This makes so much sense!! 💡💡💡! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

[@JanHicksCreates]

Yaay! So glad you found this useful! I love Brioche and this does make it so much easier!

[@rachele874]

I don't know why there aren't more knitters who use this way of knitting the two-color brioche stitch. At first, it may seem complicated; but in the end, as you rightly mention, it is easier than having to slide the laps over and over again. Thank you so much.👍🌻♥️

[@katalinacs703]

Thank you for this video. I love your sweater a lot :)

[@JanHicksCreates]

Thank you!

[@emmasher]

Thank you!! Lovely Jan! That is a brilliant tutorial! Super clear and easy to understand!! Merci!!!

[@holykrip]

i love that you explain the 'why' and not just say to follow a seemingly random series of movements. i watched a different one-pass brioche video and decided i would never remember the moves. but this video is so clear and makes so much sense about how to decide what needs to be done next. thanks!

[@JanHicksCreates]

Thank you so much. I have found over the years, through classes I’ve taken, that I understand and learn so much better when I understand the why for something. In fact, I’ll never understand why teacher don’t share that info, because it’s such an important piece of the learning process. I am glad to hear that you have found that to be the case as well, and that you find my video useful. Thanks so much!

[@sdschantz]

Oh Jan! This is exactly what I was hoping you would do! Giving exact instructions for following along with your tutorial here. I’m excited to get started. I have a shawl in progress now and I’m almost to the Brioche section. It’s been a slow slog thus far and if I can get this 2 colors at the same time down, I will possibly be able to cut my knitting time in half. In any event, it will be fun to try something new!

[@JanHicksCreates]

sdschantz I was hoping you would see this, Sarah! I was thinking of you as I set to doing this! Good luck with this and let me know how you’re getting on!

[@sdschantz]

Very clear instructions. Good lighting, angle and hand position. Thank you! Do I have it down? Of course not, but I was able to see what you were doing and recognize what would be coming next. Now off to watch it again. I’m an English thrower, brushing up a bit on Continental will be helpful. As you say, practice!

[@susanwolf4043]

Perfect Jan, I have been doing Brioche very similar to this and didn’t even realize I wasn’t doing it “correct”. You are such a natural at these videos keep them up.

[@JanHicksCreates]

Susan Wolf Thanks Susan! ❤️

[@marielasessa2921]

Thank you!! Somehow I did this instinctively a couple of years ago and made a hat, but didn'r finish it. Somehow this year I tried to figure it out and I didn´t, so I learned the two passes way. Thank you for reminding me this. I will dive now into more intricate patterns.

[@JanHicksCreates]

Awesome! I have to admit that one of the reasons I made this video was to have a guide for myself so I can relearn when it’s been a while in between projects with Brioche.

[@Tapdez]

Thank you for making it very clear to understand

[@JanHicksCreates]

Tapdez You are very welcome. Hope you find it useful!

[@Tapdez]

It was very helpful. I have been brioche knitting many years before it even gained popularity and I have also been double knitting, fair Isle. I have always used 2 hands to work those and know I know how to brioche with both hands too. It makes things alot easier.

[@susanwolf4043]

Perfect Jan, You are definitely a natural at this, keep up dear friend!

[@JanHicksCreates]

Susan Wolf Thanks sweetie! I plan on it! Let me know if there’s anything you think I should do. :)

[@LieSari]

This! The tutorial I needed❤ Love your sweater!

[@JanHicksCreates]

Yaay! Glad you found it helpful!

[@Rose-xc7wz]

This makes perfect sense and it ends up exactly the same way it would after the second pass of regular brioche. Knowing the thinking process will help me translate into combination knitting but that should be fairly easy because I do knit stranded with both hands. I may even be able to work increases and decreases in this method.

[@knit_ted]

Nicely done !

[@theresathreadgill7076]

Do you have written instruction for this? I LOVE IT! Thank you much much easier.

[@JanHicksCreates]

Hi Theresa! No, I haven’t taken the time to write out instructions. Makes my mind bend to just think about it! Lol. But glad you found it useful. I will never do brioche any other way now!

[@janerome273]

Do you have a tutorial for one pass increases and decreases? This method makes much more sense to me, as Ive done a bit of double sided knitting.

[@JanHicksCreates]

I’m afraid I don’t have anything like that. Something for me to think about, though! Glad you found this useful!

[@deborahtownsend5042]

So can this be done this way in the round also? I thought I did it in the round before but maybe I did it flat. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@JanHicksCreates]

Yes, I believe it can be done in the round. You would just keep going with the right side row.

[@holykrip1]

with 2-pass brioche in the round there is a tricky spot at the 'seam' between rows. as you get to your marker for the end of a row you drop one color and pick up the next. if you end with a sl1yo with color 1, that means you started that color with a stitch (brk or brp), so you start color 2 with a sl1yo. if you end color 1 with a stitch (brk or brp) then you started with a sl1yo, so you start color 2 with a stitch. (i got into trouble thinking i needed to alternate sl1yo and sts when changing colors which didn't work!) with single pass in the round you will keep doing a brk with color 1 and brp with color 2 - always working a right side row as jan said - so maybe you can just continue through the row change location without doing anything different. but i would look carefully when you get there to be sure.

[@lynnbrown3548]

Jan how do you work increases and decreases with this method?

[@JanHicksCreates]

So, I found it easier on my brain, when I come to an increase or decrease, to first work those stitches in the one color, slip those stitches back over to the left needle and then do the other color.

[@lynnbrown3548]

@@JanHicksCreates ok I will give that a try. Thank you!

[@isadfaith]

I can't knit 2 color brioche to save my life So sad for me 😫

[@JanHicksCreates]

I know several people who I tried to teach brioche to several times, and they just couldn’t get it. Something about how their brains work just wouldn’t let them work it out. But luckily, there are plenty of other gorgeous knitting patterns out there to enjoy!

[@isadfaith]

@@JanHicksCreates I think I could learn IF the tutorials went past just 2 rows. I might understand. How about 4 or 5 rows to get the hang of it. Maybe show how to knit 2 color brioche for 30 minutes not missing a step. Thanks for listening.
