I've now become familiar with this technique for both 1x1 and 2x2 ribbing. Is there any reason this couldn't be done in the round? Is it just that it's a bit fussy, or is it impossible to do it that way?
sazknits, thank you. Yes, it does answer the question. If I understand you, I can rearrange the stitches into whatever order is needed. That would also suggest that that first CO stitch after the slip knot could go in either direction, depending on whether the pattern calls for K2P2, P2K2, P1 K2P2, or whatever. Yes, that helps.
One more: If that first scoop after the slip knot goes down, scooping the yarn closest to me, when I move the needle to my left hand, that's going to be a knit st, yes?
@knitjunky hi there! (i work for Ysolda). For the first question, I think they were arranged like that because the pattern that Ysolda did the tutorial for (Gretel), started with a p1 at the beginning of the first round. You could change it though! Hope that helps :)
I just answered my own question #2. Yes, you can do it, but you really have to complete the 2d setup row in the usual tubular way (without yarnovers) or else you don't get the nice tube look, and it isn't as stretchy. Next time I would make the brioche setup row after the 2 tubular setup rows.
This is really great looked for two days til I found this on 2x2 tubular cast on. Thank you for posting.

Thank you for the demonstration! Perfectly clear, and I'll have no trouble starting on my Snow White now.
