How to Knit 2 Color Brioche - EASY 

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!

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!

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!💕👍🏻

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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

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!!!

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.

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!

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Thank you so much! I finally understand two-color brioche. I took a class a few years ago and just did not understand this stitch. You are a wonderful instructor.

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

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!

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

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

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! 😊

have taken two classes and never gotten this good of instruction thank you so much

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

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

I can't believe it, I've actually knitted several inches and it's looking great! I have tried it so many times, it never came out right and I had just about given up. This is wonderful, thank you so much, awesome video!

Hands down the best brioche tutorial I've watched so far!

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!

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

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!

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

Thanks so much for this video, I love that you explained the set up row as well as the pattern for the rest of the rows. Can’t wait to use this stitch!

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.

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!

Thank you! I have Stephen West's Flying Foxtail shawl in my queue and wanted to learn Brioche to knit it, and this is the clearest tutorial I've seen

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻✨🌟⭐️🌟✨❤️😃❤️👍🏻👍🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Thank you soooo much!!! I had given up on doing 2-color brioche because I kept losing my place - just too many interruptions in a hectic life. NOW I think I can do it because you have explained so well how to read the previous row! What questions to ask myself (do I see & which yarn to use & which stitches to knit or purl together) and easy short phrases to say in order to keep on track!

Your tutorial explains it all, I had just about given up on it now I think I will go back and give it a try thank you again

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!!!!

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!

The best tutorial explaining two colour brioche. Thanks so much

Thanks for this video!! I tried others and didn't just get it, but did this time and was able to knit my first sample as I was watching!!

Excellent tutorial for Brioche. I especially like how you emphasize row identity. I think I’m ready to give this a try. Thank you so much!👍🌸💕

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

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

Yours was the video that helped me finally learn this after trying several others. Many thanks. Would be great if you could make some more about increasing and decreasing in brioche and working in the round

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

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.

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

You are such an awesome teacher! I am a visual learner and this video was so good!!! Thank you for your teaching!!!

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!!!!

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

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

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!

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. 👍👍

Great explanation I have ever watched you made sense. Thank you. Could you do a KAL in the future. Maybe Rebel two by Lesley Ann Robinson Or “ Pointe “ by Julie Dubreux. They may supply the pattern free to you. Just having trouble with both of then. This video has helped me a lot with brioche. I probably need to take in your excellent points and tackle one line at a time. Thanks you keep you excellent tutorials up. I am thinking general knitting is looking boring compared to Brioche. I just want to master it. By the way I have knitted for 50 years since a youngster and very confident in any stitch. Why don’t I just get brioche ? I will just keep going.

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!

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

Brilliant, it finally makes sense thank you so much ❤

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

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

Thank you this has been a very valuable and excellent demonstration. I like your tips you provided to know what exactly is the next step along the way! Truly a gem!

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

FINALLY a 2 color brioche tutorial that is super helpful and consistent with language from row to row. 💖😊

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!

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

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 :)

This is an excellent tutorial and you have explained it out very well! Thank you! 😀

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

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been knitting for 60 years, and became blind about 10 years ago. I still Nick, but learning the one color brioche stitch was rather difficult, lol. I have been trying to learn a two color brioche stitch for about a month, watching numerous videos and going to website after website trying to learn this beautiful sketch. You spoke to my wheelhouse! I watched your video, OK, I listen to your video, twice through without my needles in myg and then put the needles into the yarn and I have a two color brioche swatch of 20 stitches! Thank you so much it was wonderful to have an excellent verbal instruction that didn’t rely too much on visual cues. You’re awesome

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

Your tip about looking at the first two stitches is so helpful. I’ll never again do a knit row when it should be a purl row or vice versa!

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

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.

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!!

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

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

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

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 :)

Thank you for such a clean and easily understood video. You have answered all of the details others left unsaid!

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

best, clearest tuition - congratulations on a great job. thank you.

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. 😊

Oh wow! I too had given up after taking a class, reading books, and watching other videos. Could not seem to GET it. Now I do. Thank you so, so much!

I've tried and failed at two-color brioche probably 8x in the last 3 months, I can't tell you how much relief I feel now that you've helped me get it FINALLY!! Thank you!!!

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.

The clearest explanation ever. I’ve been trying to follow a pattern for this and was on the verge of giving up. I’m so glad I found this video. Thanks.

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 :-)

Thank you so much for your tutorial, as I had been struggling with a shawl pattern that uses brioche. Because the pattern required a 3 slip stitches at the beginning each row with a yarn forward, I was finding the pattern hard to pick up. However, your clear instructions really helped me figure out the pattern now. You are such a star, thank you xx

I've been so frustrated with 2 color brioche stitch. My knitting has sat for two months. I decided to watch your tutorial again, and presto! I think I have it, kind of, in my head. That's a start, so THANKS!!!

Thank you so much... you made this seem VERY easy... EXCELLENT TUTORIAL!!! I have this really pretty scarf I want to make for a friend... she has stuck by me thru thick and thin... both she and her husband... and I can't wait to practice and learn this stitch to make her that scarf.

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

Explaining why and how, rather than just “do this stitch” - so very helpful. You did a great job with this tutorial. (I’m knitting a baby blanket in two color fisherman’s knit stitch because brioche aggravated me so much. The two stitch patterns look remarkably similar.) Next time, I think I’ll give brioche a try now that I can better see what’s actually going on. Thank you!

Thank you! So many tips, can't believe my sample looks like yours, you are a great tutor!
