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.
Enjoy!

Please correct or add an errata to the pattern!
The pattern appears correct to us how it is written. Perhaps you could elaborate on your suggestion and your idea could also work! There is definitely more than one way to knit a lofty rib...
Thank you,

Always assume that you are slipping stitches purl-wise unless the pattern states otherwise. So, for this pattern you should slip the stitches purl-wise.
I'm pretty sure this pattern needs to be a multiple of 6, so I would try casting on 24 stitches.
Good luck! Joelle
You sl1, k1, psso *p1, k2tog etc... So I psso and then go on but how do I get rid of that k1? Am I crazy? Or is something wonky there?
Its been awhile since doing this bind off, but off the top of my head, I think you should pass the k1 over the following p1 before you k2 tog. Let me know if this helps or not, if not I'll re-examine it.
good luck!
Joelle
Thanks for the clarification!
