POINTS USED
Rib 1/1 in round
1st round and next rounds.: (k1, p1) across the entire round.
Brioche stitch in round
Beginning round: * k1, slip 1 p-wise/yo *, rep.
1st round: * slip 1 p-wise/yo, 1 P-brioche st. *, rep. from * to * across the entire round.
2nd round: * 1 K-brioche st., slip 1 p-wise/yo *, rep. from * to * across the entire round.
Always rep. 1st and 2nd round.
Back-and-forth brioche stitch
Beginning row: * k1, slip 1 p-wise/yo *, rep. across the entire row.
1st r. and next r.: * 1 K-brioche st., slip 1 p-wise/yo, rep. from * to * across the entire row.
Make one (RS): patt yarn between right and left needle. Using right needle lift the yarn, pick-up it with left needle twisting the st. on left needle.
Invisible closing in round: slip 1st st. of left needle on right needle. Pass 2nd st. of right needle on 1st st. and drop it. Pull both 2 yarns (yarn of ball and end of cast-on yarn) together decisively; it tightens the dropped stitch shaping one knot. You have made the invisible closing and fixed the ring. At last, move the 1st st. of right point on left needle, place the M on right point.
