Pattern Notes
In two-color brioche stitch, two rows are worked for each counted row that appears on the face of the fabric. The first color is worked across the row and then the row is worked again using the second color. The next row is worked the same way, once across with the first color and worked again with the second color. When counting rows, count only the stitches going up on a knit column.
For example, when you work 4 rows, count 4 knit column stitches, even though you will have worked 8 rows back and forth. 2 worked rows = 1 counted row.
When you put down your knitting and forget which color you just used and which color to use next, look at the color of the yo in the row just worked. That is the last color you used.
This blanket is written using a main color (MC) and contrast color (CC) in the instructions. The RS features the MC as the foreground color and the WS features the CC as the background color.
