hi I'm Kristin Omdahl and welcome back to my studio in this series of videos
I'm going to show you how to knit brioche stitch in the round with two
colors of yarn after you learn the technique I'm going to show you how to
make this gorgeous cowl and slouchy knit hat we're going to be using worsted
weight yarn so it works up really quickly to make these beautiful holiday
gifts let's get started make sure you follow the link in the
video description to download the free pattern and order the Be So Brave Yarn
which is still on sale on my website for $5 a hank Be So Brave yarn is 100%
USA made American merino wool it's worsted weight and comes in many
beautiful saturated colors I'm going to use Cape Cod Bay and Orangesicle for
the two colors for the demonstration and I'm going to cast on with both of them
sometimes I think it's fun to use two colors of yarn when doing a cast on
because then you don't have to do any guesswork to figure out how much yarn to
pull ahead so I'm going to hold both tails in my right hand with my needle
and then hold both of the yarns in my left hand like I'm doing long tail cast
on and just cast on as many stitches as I need if you are doing the Hat pattern
you're going to need 60 stitches cast on if you're doing the cowl pattern you're
going to need 72 stitches cast on and if you're making something smaller or
larger in circumference just make sure that you cast on an even number of
stitches when learning how to knit brioche in the round I highly recommend
starting with two color before working in one color because it's much easier to
recognize your mistakes you'll clearly see if you've knit or slipped the wrong
stitches because you won't be maintaining these vertical stripes using
the two color cast on is a great way to help you understand - how to not twist
your stitches when working in the round if
notice the doing it in two colors our stitch is at the top of the work and our
cast on edge is at the bottom of the work so Cape Cod Bay is the stitch and
the cast on edge is in Orangesicle so if we line this up just so you can see
that I have my stitches to the outside of the needles and my cast on into the
inside and that's how we know we haven't twisted our stitches I love that it's
such a great way to learn how to recognize your stitch from your cast on
so that you don't twist it we're now ready to begin our setup round for the
beginning of this project and what a setup round means is that it's around
you only do one time and it's not repeated like the rest of the stitch
pattern I'm going to use Orangesicle for my set up round just the beautiful
saturated orange and we're going to we're gonna add our stitch marker first
and then we're going to yarn over slip one and knit one yarn over slip one and
knit one yarn over slip one and knit one and this is what we're going to repeat
all the way around I enjoy living dangerously just as much as the next
person but knitting brioche two color in the round is not one of them I always
recommend slipping a stitch marker in between every round in the early rounds
of this project you want to make sure that you're checking to see that your
stitches aren't twisted still so we've got our stitches to the outside edge and
our cast on edge to the inside edge I've slipped my stitch marker and I'm now
ready to begin row round two and so I'm going to grab the second ball of yarn
which is the Cape Cod Bay and I'm going to pull it from under the Orangesicle
so that I'm kind of wrapping the yarns together because I want to carry my
yarns up every other round as I go instead of cutting them at the end of
our around because what will happen is you'd
have so many ends to weave in Plus it's a waste of yarn so we're going to carry
our yarns from round to round so we've slipped our stitch marker or at the
beginning of round two and so with yarn B we're going to knit two together with
our first two stitches and on a brioche stitch knit two together or purl two
together which will be our following round you want to make sure that when
you're doing this the two together portion you're doing a yarn over and a
stitch together it's a good way to make sure that you're on track is to always
make sure that the two together stitch is with a yarn over so these first two
here we're going to knit two together which is our brioche knit stitch and
then we're going to yarn over slip one as if to purl and that's our repeat so
we're going to knit two together yarn over slip one knit two together yarn
over and slip one and we're going to repeat this all the way around and now
we're ready to begin round three we're going to grab our yarn a and it's really
helpful to untangle your yarns as you go you'll have lot less headaches in the
long run if you make sure that they stay untangled so I'm gonna pull this okay
there we go so now we're gonna we're position so that I can grab yarn a from
underneath yarn B so I'm carrying it up as I go and I'm ready to begin round
three so we're going to move the yarn to the back of the work slip one as if to
purl and purl the next two stitches together yarn to the back of the work
which is a yarn over on a purl round slip one and purl the next two stitches
together yarn to the back of the work slip one as if to purl and purl the next
two stitches together
yarn over slip 1 purl 2 together yarn over slip 1 and purl two together a
couple of tricks to keep in mind to keep you on track remember that a slip stitch
needs to be the wrong color so we're working in orange right now we want to
make sure that our slip stitches are not orange that way we're carrying up the
other color so that we maintain this two color vertical striping the other trick
to remember is to make sure that your knit two togethers and purl two together
include one of the yarn overs you never want to be slipping the yarn over stitch
so we'll yarn over slip one and purl two together yarn over slip one and purl two
together yarn over slip one and purl two together and you want to repeat this all
the way around we're ready to begin round four which is going to be with
yarn B which is Cape Cod Bay we want to make sure our yarns are not tangled and
that we can position okay so that the yarn B can come out from under yarn a
which kind of wraps it as we go and we're gonna start with a brioche knit
stitch which is to knit the first two stitches together and remember you
always want to make sure you have a yarn over with that knit stitch so we're
going to knit these two together beginning of round four
yarn over slip one and knit two together yarn over slip one and knit two together
yarn over slip one and knit two together and repeat this all the way around I
prefer working my brioche knit stitch through the back loop I like how it
differentiates the right side from the wrong
the fabric whether you work through the front loop or the back loop with your
brioche stitch just remember to be consistent throughout the entire project
the end of round four you want to make sure you move your yarn to the back of
the work which is kind of like a very loose yarn over which will be handy at
the end of the next round we're going to slip our stitch marker to the right hand
needle we're now ready to begin our next round with yarn a so we're going to wrap
the yarn underneath the last yarn worked to come up and repeat round three
you want to make sure your yarn is to the back of the work before you slip one
as if to purl and purl the next two stitches together so we have a slip yarn
over and the brioche purl two together so we're going to move our yarn to the
back of the work for the yarn over slip one as if to purl and purl the next two
stitches together yarn over slip one and purl two together yarn over slip one and
purl two together yarn over slip one and purl two together and you want to repeat
this all the way around slip our stitch marker to the right hand needle and
we're now ready to begin round six which is to repeat round four so we're gonna
bring yarn be around yarn a and we start with a knit two together with the yarn
over and the stitch that come first knit two together we're gonna yarn over slip
one as if to purl and knit the next two stitches together yarn over slip one and
knit two together yarn over slip one knit two together and repeat this all
the way around as you've noticed our last two rounds were actually repeats so
at this point we're going to continue with repeating rounds three and four for
the desired length both the slouchy hat and the cowl call
for knitting for nine inches but if you're doing a different sized hat or a
different type of tubular project just repeat rounds three and four for the
desired length in the next two parts of this video I will show you how to either
cast off to create a tube for the cowl or create a decreased crown to create
the slouchy happen if you have any questions by all means leave them for me
