I referred to the video because as I was following the written instructions, my counts were off... I think total cast on should be 37 - not 33
ReplyDeleteI love your brioche patterns and videos!
ReplyDeleteIs the written pattern different than the chart? Row 5 call for a br4st inc but the chart pattern shows brkyobrk. I think it's brkyobrk based on the video.
pattern correction :
ReplyDeleterows 5 and 9 : replace br4st inc to brkyobrk
