NOTE

The last stitch of each row is slipped in order to create a neat edge.  For technical definitions, visit our Knitting+Crochet Glossary

 

PATTERN 

CO 30 stitches.

Row 1: K2, *yo, sl1, K1, repeat from * to last two stitches, K1, sl1.

Row 2:  K2, *yo, sl1, K2tog, repeat from * to last two stitches, K1, sl1. When you K2tog, you are knitting the preceding slipped stitch (sl1) together with the yarn over (yo) of the previous row.

Row 3 and all following rows:  repeat Row 2.  

Continue in pattern until you have reached the desired length.  

Bind-off Row (very loosely!):  Sl1, K1, psso *P1, K2tog, pass purled stitch over decreased stitch, repeat from * to last two stitches, bind off normally.

Weave in ends and block lightly by hand to even the stitches and enhance the supple rib of Brioche Stitch.
