Brioche Tab Cast On

Use this video along with my pattern to help begin your brioche shawl. I used the stitch and row numbers from the Flying Foxtail Shawl for this video. My other brioche shawls like Suriously Holey and Askews Me Shawl begin with the same technique. The stitch and row counts may vary from pattern to pattern, but the fundamental cast on concept applies to all of these designs.
