Brioche stitch is considered an advanced level stitch. But with my help, I know you will learn how to do the brioche stitch, how to read your brioche knitting, how to brioche purl, and how to make this fantastic brioche scarf. The scarf is a free pattern on Yarnspirations.com and the video tutorials are available on the Marly Bird YouTube Channel.

- In video 1 you will learn how basic brioche terminology, and how to do Two Color Brioche Ribbing.
- In video 2 you will learn how to do basic knit brioche fabric

I did make some line-by-line instructions for the pattern. Along with the written pattern instructions I’ve rewritten the pattern using basic brioche terminology so you will be able to do other brioche patterns in the future.
