PATTERN NOTES
When working 2-colour brioche from charts or written instructions, each round is worked twice. First work the round with yarn A, then work the round with yarn B. If the round ends with a sl1yo, take the yarn between the needles and leave at the front of work.
Note on brioche decreases: if the stitch has a yarnover, slip or knit the stitch AND its yarnover together.
