Teaching Myself Brioche Knitting

I love the way double knitted brioche looks for scarves -- and I have plenty of yarn to practice with. But first I needed to figure out single brioche. Thank goodness for The Brioche Stitch! Lots of pictures, links, and videos to get you going.

Casting on was challenging, I think I'll need to refer to the directions for several projects. But the brioche stitch itself is not that bad. Although I did occasionally lose a yarnover...I could pick it up, but not always successfully. The loftiness of the yarn and the stitch itself does hide some of these errors.
