“Brioche is too difficult!”
No, it’s not!
You already know all the building blocks:
🧶 If you can knit a stitch, you can knit two stitches together, so you can already Brioche knit (brk).
🧶 If you can purl a stitch, you can purl two stitches together, so you can already Brioche purl (brp).
🧶 If you can make a yarn-over and slip a stitch (as if to purl), you can also slip a stitch with the yarn in front, and the make the yarn-over over the slipped stitch, so you can already make a “sl1yo” Brioche stitch.
➡️ Put all these building blocks together and you can knit Brioche!

NEW slower version of the i-Cord-Tab cast-on video!
I heard you, and you were totally right: the first video was just too fast to follow along.
So here is a slower version of the video, re-cut to still fit the constraints of social media videos, but only sped-up in one (repetitive) section. And, a photo tutorial is included in the pattern.
I hope you’ll now have an easier time to start your Double Trouble scarfs!

The video shows how to make 4-stitch knit and purl increases and how to work over them in the next row to re-establish the 2x2 Brioche ribbing pattern.

WIP. Ginny Cardigan designed by sosuknits. Her patterns are always super interesting combos of brioche mixed with other stitches. Yarn is Masham Mayhem by gingertwiststudio, which I bought during my Scotland knitting tour. I love how BFL/Masham wool blends take color.

Zuerst war da das Video von Elke bohei_yarn …. Darin hat sie den tollen Briocheslipover von sosuknits gezeigt - und das passende Garn gab es tatsächlich noch in Elke‘s Shop 🥰
Das musste her und ich wollte nicht riskieren, es beim Wollrausch nächstes Wochenende nicht mehr zu ergattern.
Nun ist das Teil fast fertig, ein paar Zentimeter fehlen noch und dann kann ich mich reinkuscheln 🤩. Das Garn ist übrigens gefärbt von Elke und stammt von den Kölner Schafen.

Pattern by sosuknits
Yarn: a whole palette of leftover fingering weights, held double + faded together 🌾💗
This one feels like a love letter to slow making — every colour shift holds a memory of past projects, tiny scraps turned into something warm, textured, and completely one-of-a-kind.
It’s the kind of knit that reminds me why I love this craft: nothing wasted, everything transformed.
Styled in the sun, showing off those soft, blended fades that only hand-dyed yarn can give. I adore how the grid pattern makes each colour melt into the next like a quiet gradient story.
If you’ve been wondering what to do with all your leftovers… this sweater is your sign. 🧶✨

Was für ein Bohei - würde meine Oma sagen 😀. Da hat mich die liebe Elke bohei_yarn wieder mal angefixt, mit dem Patentslipover, den sie in ihrem Video gezeigt hat. Klar, dass ich nicht riskieren wollte, die wunderschöne Farbkombi nicht mehr zu erwischen und deshalb habe ich sie bestellt. Und schon heute kam ein Päckchen, in dem noch einige Goodies waren, dazu ein paar Tipps von Elke 🤩 #boheiyarn #rhoolyarn #düsseldorferschafe #ranandienadeln #briochestrick #winterslipover #sosuknits
