Knitting Tutorial - Wrapped in Brioche Shawl

[@dialuario514]

Thank you for your wonderful tutorials! I enjoy watching & rewatching them as I knit. And thank you for always having a beautiful manicure!!

[@dialuario514]

Can you tell us what you have on your nails?

[@verypinkknits]

Sure, it is "Ole My Way" by Gelish.

[@tamarahaines7108]

Oh my goodness... thank you so much. I have been stuck on a brioche hat knit in the round . Just put it aside to work on a shawl for my kid... will pick it back up soon and watch very carefully as I go along... whew

[@jenidouthit7980]

Thank you Staci! I have not been able to understand brioche knitting . Tried it and thought never again!! You make it easy to understand and I want to try again.

[@nicoledelatorre7406]

Probably my most fav video so far and I’ve been watching for years! Love brioche and you have great explanations and suggestions. Thank you!

[@DanielWSonntag]

I agree!!

[@RitaPsych1]

Good Lord, that is quite an involved set-up! Your skills are amazing! Those yarn blanks are beautiful. This is a knitting project to aspire to. Thank you so much!

[@TallPaulKnits]

You taught me entrelac and now after watching this I am ready to tackle brioche. Thank you for your great tutorials. -Paul

[@carolj2013]

which do you find more difficult to learn? I was thrilled that i figured out how to go beyond squares and rectangles, and now this!

[@cassiehub1343]

Wow.. never heard of blanks before! This yarn is to die for though! The colours!!! 😍

[@jhamerter4562]

Love this! I've been scared of 2 color brioche knitting but after watching this video, i really want to do it. Thank you so much!

[@maryannejordan6227]

Great tutorial. I had been considering myself an intermediate level knitter. Until brioche. I sooooooo don’t understand the ends of the rows. Like knitter below... my brain exploded🤣🤣🤣. But Staci I have learned a boatload of skills from you, so thank you very much for all your fine video tutorials. You are my go-to girl for all things knitting!💝💝💝

[@Celestyal22]

10:20, what defiance of the knitting gods is this?!

[@procastonknitter]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It’s truly a holiday gift to your followers to get such a great video to enhance our knitting lives!

[@reflexology52welsh48]

Omg, this really excites me, I’m sending it to all my knitting sisters, can’t wait to try this!

[@charissabannick3453]

Staci, thank you so much for this video. The pattern is beautiful, however your explaination is very refreshing. I’m a visual learner and when I’ve tried to knit brioche in the past, it was just too confusing; and that was with just one color. I’ve gotten quite far in this shawl and can’t seem to put it down. I can’t thank you enough for your tips and for making this video. I think for me the terminalogy of brioche is most confusing. Thank you again for simplifying it and breaking the steps down. Many happy wishes for you and your lovely pups this holiday. Big hug! Rissa :)

[@ThriftDiving]

I love the idea of "life lines"! Thanks for that tip! :)

[@carolj2013]

Have you tried any of this? I LOVE your channel BTW!

[@58lucinda]

Thank you Stacey I will try this after I finish my other projects. I like the helpful tip on the life line I wished I knew about this when I made two scarfs in the feather and lace pattern it would of saved me a lot of grief!

[@alisonm224]

I totally agree, after doing the feather and leaf pattern I was ready to pull my hair out!

[@bbbenjaminsen]

Thank you for sharing and teaching us, it seems challenging, but I can. and will try to learn brioche aswell. Your tutorials are good, and after seeing this I "need" to get som more yarn (-stash) so I can try myself...or maybe I shell just du the learning with some scraps...

[@mariadelbosco]

I've just started knitting and this is like ... GOALS!

[@ruby71975]

I love life lines! This looks so fun. Excellent tutorial.

[@Cthecool]

I’ve adore those blanks!!!! Amazing 😉 I’ve tried my best to do brioche I just can’t get it! I’m so glad you’ve done this. You’re outstanding and I really needed this. Thank You very much.💙🦋

[@mariesandy150]

I am pretty sure I followed that...however, I think I will watch this video a few more times before purchasing the yarn to start my great adventure of learning the brioche stitch!

[@nancyhorne-clare2945]

This pattern looks very interesting love the yarn color choices. Thank you Staci for this video alot of good information.

[@crazybooklady2104]

I love the mulberry one. I see why you like this pattern. It seems to be one you really have to pay attention to.

[@loreknits77]

Would you please make a video demonstration of the same shawl but in a single strand of yarn. For a multicolore yarn.

[@DanielWSonntag]

Sadly zen yarn garden is retiring. Lucky for me though ... Got 2 lux blanks for 50% off! I'll finally try this pattern.

[@sharongodbout9014]

Amazing how you can make this seem easier! I think I have a long way to go before I try this! Great tutorial thank you for your hard work!! :-)

[@slip3wyifcord688]

This is a fantastic brioche tutorial 👌

[@3courtni]

@3:45ish your right eye turns a different color. I had to rewind a few times because i didnt know if my eyes were playing tricks on me or not.

[@dianemurphy5974]

Thank you for this video. I think Brioche is confusing but you made it look easy. Thank you for explaining it. BTW ~ love your fingernail polish color.

[@jandroid1962]

I love the comment about protecting the blanks from your puppy. I protect my yarn from cats.

[@AleeyaIsEpic]

12:12 the exact point my brain exploded

[@elenaspinelli3921]

I’m still trying to absorb the yo and the slips sts. Don’t quite get it, I’ll have to watch this again in slow motion. Always like to challenge myself but may have to leave this to the professionals as previously stated. I love all your videos, thank you!

[@sugarlee7648]

Elena Spinelli how do you watch it in slow motion?

[@elenaspinelli3921]

Sugar Lee not sure I even can! But I’ll try to investigate somehow. I’m lost! 😝

[@aaesuzuki]

@@elenaspinelli3921 On the bottom right corner of the video, click on the gear symbol (Settings). A menu will pop up. Then click on . From there you can select the speed you want the playback to be.

[@elenaspinelli3921]

aaesuzuki never knew that. Thanks so much!

[@rachele874]

Fantastic😁WonderWomanknitting😄🙏🏻

[@heather7862]

Staci, Does it matter what order the “sl1, yo” is in? Sometimes you say “sl1, yo” but do it opposite. Thank you!

[@manelknits]

Hi Staci, yeah it's so gorgeous👍🌸😍

[@virginiaroberts4880]

I like that they are long wraps :)

[@anapauladasilvaoliveira8144]

That mulberry! So gorgeous, hmmmm

[@ElinT13]

Lovely pattern! Thanks a bunch!

[@1945williams]

Staci I’ve not knit from a sock blank before. Do you suggest knitting directly from the sock blank, wind in a ball first or re skein wash to reset the twist and then ball to knit?

[@verypinkknits]

I address this in the video - I wound the blanks into cakes (no washing), only because I was having a difficult time knitting from the sock blank because my dogs kept going after it. :)

[@1945williams]

Thanks so much for your prompt reply. Probably should have rewatched the tutorial when I was not sleep deprived and I would have picked this up. 🙃

[@robbien19]

I didnt even know blanks were a thing!

[@cynthiaungemach1494]

Robbie Moore They are often sold much smaller....50 gram blanks... for socks. It makes matching the yarns from one sock to the next much easier, so the color changes happen at the same point on both socks.

[@followmedownarabbithole]

Staci. I adore every video you’ve done. Love, love to watch you work. I do have a question though. I struggle with the cast on for brioche. I’ve read the tubular cast on works best but try as I might I have to rip out every time. It’s very difficult to keep the stitches where they don’t look twisted. I can’t tell easily the “knotted” edge like other cast ons and I get very frustrated. Is there a better way?

[@verypinkknits]

This shawl uses a unique cast-on, and only a few stitches. The width of the shawl is created with increases, not a massive CO.

[@followmedownarabbithole]

The cast on I was attempting was for another project for brioche. This just seemed like the best place to ask 😁

[@gloriakoch4764]

I altered the playback speed to get this figured out.

[@Tinkertotz13]

How do you always keep your edges so neat? Mine always get loose and never look pretty. I've been knitting for years but I still can't seem to get a hang of the edging. My tension is fine for the rest of the work lol. Any suggestions?

[@verypinkknits]

Here is my video on edge tension: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aqPLp35vqbppeNU

[@BluestormsSong]

*My brain:* We DO NOT need another project during the holidays! *My crafting compulsion:* But... Pretty shawl! *My wrists:* 😫☠

[@stephanieprice9959]

I don’t understand when you say slip one yarn over but it looks like you do the yarn over first then the slip? 🤔

[@dorothywellman6289]

That's how it looked to me too!

[@verypinkknits]

The yarn over is second, but I've pulled the yarn forward to the front of the work (between the needles), then over the needle for the yarn over.

Mamma Kay thank you and thank you for explaining so thoroughly! This is really helpful 💕

[@patgriffin1925]

Beautiful

[@Cthecool]

I knit continental is this why I can’t get this right?

[@verypinkknits]

The hand in which you hold the working yarn won't make any difference, the techniques and stitches are the same, regardless.

[@Cthecool]

VeryPink Knits oh okay, then I think that I’d better pay very close attention. I shall start on the I cord right now! Thank You 🙏🏽

[@Cthecool]

iChillypepper Thank You, will do!🦋

[@milheg5622]

This is amazing! Thank you! Xxx

[@jq7136]

What is "knitting from blanks"?

[@verypinkknits]

It's explained in the video - blanks are knitted "scarves", you unravel and knit from the yarn.

[@heatherhaigh]

beautiful

[@faerie247]

Sorry Staci I could not follow, I really tried, because I so wanted to do this pattern, gave up at 6 trys. Even with lifelines in every row when it came to unravelling the setup row 2A it wouldn't unravel. Love all your videos but this has stumped me, so sad. I'll try 1 colour Brioche first I think. I am not going to be beaten.

[@verypinkknits]

Sorry to hear it...two color brioche isn't easy. Good for you for giving it at try, practice with one color brioche will advance your skills and make adding a second color easier. :)

[@faerie247]

@@verypinkknits Thanks just reading about yarn overs I think that was my trouble. I am looking at your help videos to help me.

[@TheWhitePhoenix2]

Shocked you’re knitting Brioche. It’s almost impossible to fix your errors with brioche

[@TheWhitePhoenix2]

I do have to agree about brioche. It requires a lot of attention.
