Step-by-Step: Easily Learn How to Knit Brioche Part 1 of 3 - A Trio of Knitted Accessories - Jeanne!

Hello, my beautiful blossom! I hope you're having an AMAZING day and are feeling happy and hopeful! Today, I am SO EXCITED to share with you a brand new knitting pattern, which is FABULOUS, but it's also the first part of our 3-part Learn to Knit Brioche series! Yay!
We've had so many requests over the years for Brioche knitting patterns and tutorials, and I am just tickled pink to finally be able to offer them to you! Today's pattern is the Jeanne unisex accessory trio, which includes a knitted scarf, cowl, and hat.
In this video, I show you how to work single-color basic Brioche knitting, both flat and in the round, as well as how to work the basic Double Brioche stitch. To really get the most out of this sequential series, you'll want to complete the patterns in the order that they're released because the skills will build on each other. You can also head over to and follow our Learn to Knit Brioche Ravelry thread for additional help and support: www.ravelry.com/discuss/expre...
Download Jeanne at www.expressionfiberarts.com/p...
The Jeanne trio is considered an Adventurous Beginner to Intermediate pattern for the scarf. Experience working in the round is recommended for the cowl. In addition to having experience working in the round, at least one Brioche project should be completed before making the hat.
If this is your first Brioche project, begin with the scarf. An option for inserting blocks of Double Brioche is provided. Once you have mastered the stitches and are comfortable with working in the round, give the cowl a try. Although the hat is a little more advanced, with your new Brioche skills, this will be a great addition to your set
The Jeanne trio uses our Enduring Worsted yarn. It's a soft and tightly spun yarn with a nice, tight twist that results in beautiful, defined stitches and projects that will hold up well! This yarn is a blend of 80% Superwash Merino and 20% Nylon. Four skeins of Enduring Worsted are needed for all three accessories: 2 skeins needed for scarf, 1 skein needed for both the cowl and hat.
Shop all of our stunning, hand-dyed Enduring Worsted yarns at www.expressionfiberarts.com/c...
Our colors come and go quickly, so be sure to purchase all you will need for your project.

Ha - I wondered when you would get around to brioche. I see it everywhere but, have been hesitant to give it a whirl. Your wonderful tutorial is clear & concise so, I feel the challenge coming into focus. All three projects offer simple yet perfect, skill building practice. And hey - everyone needs a new winter scarf, right? Thanks for keeping our brains & fingers nimble! 💜

Chandi you are just the best! I agree with everybody, your videos are just the highlight of my Fridays. I have never even been tempted to watch another brioche video because I was so intimidated. Now with this fantastic beginner video AND your great lifeline video, I believe I can do it. Thanks for being a part of our lives Chandi.

I may knit/crohcet a tunic jumper 🥰

Another tantalizing project, 3 of them! Ooooh and ahhhhh!

Thank you for showing also knitting english style. I like your videos very much, i understand a lot about knits and purls continental, but sometimes it is very difficutl to "translate" YO in english style. So, thank you again for this helpful demonstration

ONG, I am so happy, I will be learning how to brioche. I have been looking at Stephen West and was wondering how I can learn how to do Brioche. I can't wait to try this method. Thank you Chandi and Jane Vanselous for coming up with this great pattern.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You are so welcome! 🥰

Ok! I have a skein of your ENDURING WORSTED yarn and now I know what I can tackle! 🥰🥰

Oooo looks very complicated for me. I have not been lucky to knit. Crochet like a pro I can. Knitting isn’t for me. I’d drop stitches and get flustered. Beautiful work and looks pretty. Blessings.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

I'm happy you like it.

[@brandysherrill662]

Cannot wait till next week. Love this brioche is something I've wanted to learn but was very weary of

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You can do it! Have fun with it, too!

[@kyazuhm8264]

Chandi, Thank you for the tutorial. My preferred method of knitting is to have my stitches in an Eastern Mount (the leading leg is on the back of the needle). Recently, I have been forcing myself to relearn to knit with a Western Mount stitch so I can do a project with Brioche sections in it. Your clear tutorial and the projects provided make me believe that I will be able to get it figured out. I’m looking forward to the additional tutorials.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Oh, I'm so happy to hear that! I hope you enjoy it!

You make it look fearless and not hard. I will be giving this a try for sure. I really can not thank you enough for all the the patterns you give to us and for making sure beautiful yarn to go with the patterns. You are do talented. Hugs and best wishes always.

@@ExpressionFiberArts I tried the scarf pattern with 2 different types of yarns and 4.5 mm and 5.00 mm needles. I'm facing problems at the end of the rows. Sometimes I land up with more than 1 stich at the end. It became messy and I had to unravel each time! I do English style so please can you do at least six rows in English style starting with the set up row so it's clearer? Thx!

When does come the cowl out? Its getting cold here. Thanks, So beautiful and not so hard to do, since you explained it so eventually well❣️

Thank you for your work, my mother used to do this stitch but i never did, now IS the Time to learn it. By the way it may seem like a strange question but: have you done modelling photos? because you remind me of a young woman who was a model in her 20's... maybe not you seem very young.

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

You're very welcome! I hope you enjoy learning brioche. As for your other question, no I haven't worked as a model.

You make this look so easy! I never heard of brioche knitting, but it looks gorgeous, so I’ll give it a try. Thanks for sharing! By the way, I have not knit in the round before. What do you suggest as an introductory pattern before I dive into the brioche cowl and hat? Thanks!

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Glad you want to give Brioche a try. If you haven't worked in the round before I'd say try to make a simple hat first just to get use it, although you'll realize quickly it's simple. Here is a tutorial to our Basic Beanie Hat: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jF60iXtnqMyIatk I hope this is helpful and I'm sure you'll be knitting in. brioche in no time! Have a nice weekend! 💕

[@rtl5630]

Chandi, on row 93, when you do the brioche knit after the last slip marker, does the yarnover sort of unwind and is sort of like a long float? 12:29

[@ExpressionFiberArts]

Hi there, thank you for your question. I'm happy to help. The yarnover might be a bit longer/lumpier than the others because it was next to a marker but you should be able to work the brk normally with it and it should straighten out during blocking. I hope this answers your question. Have a great day! 💜

[@rtl5630]

I am really doing the cowl. It is rnd 21 after the warning. The BRK unwinds the yarn over for me. Thanks, Chandi for your help!
