Hello everyone, I hope you all had a good weekend!
To have a break from miles of stocking stitch I decided to try and do a jumper in brioche stitch and wow, I’m having a struggle! I’m just going to keep practicing (the knitting and the trying not to cry) before I get stuck in but I’ve got a couple of questions.
Is there a trick to unraveling rows that you’ve done wrong with brioche or is the trick not to make any mistakes? When I’ve flubbed it I’ve basically just had to start over because the yo stitches kind of disappear.
Also, all of the videos I’ve watched to learn the start with an uneven amount of cast on rows to do the selvedge but the pattern suggests a tension gauge of 10 st x 24 rows. Would I just work the 10 stitches without selvedge? And would the 24 rows include the brioche set up row? The pattern is called Peony from Emma Wright’s KIY book.
