Notes

Pattern Gauge
15 sts and 18 rows = 4” / 10 cm (measured in two- color brioche stitch pattern knit flat, taken after blocking)

Notes
I recommend using removable/locking stitch markers to denote each repeated section. On each of the patterned rows the stitch marker will need to move 2 stitches to the right, so it will be easier to manage if you can pluck them off and pop back on. Otherwise you will have to pass stitches over the marker, or slip back and forth to get them into the correct position. I found stitch markers very helpful to keep the pattern on track when my attention was divided or I had to stop mid-row.
