PATTERN NOTES
[Knitty's list of standard abbreviations and techniques can be found here.]

Please familiarize yourself with the following techniques:
You will also need to thoroughly understand the specific brioche stitch abbreviations as described below. I suggest that you practice this pattern using scrap yarn before beginning the scarf.
In brioche knitting, a stitch with its yarnover is considered ONE stitch. The yarnover is never counted separately. This is very important to remember – imagine a stitch and its yarnover as a stitch with a shawl around its shoulders.
Edge stitches are worked using MC only.
Mark one thread by hanging a marker on it as it comes off the ball. This will be the MC. The other unmarked thread will be the CC. After a few rows, hang a marker on the RS. Also hang a marker on the middle stitch.
Brioche Terminology
brk (brioche knit - also known as a bark): knit the stitch (which was slipped in the row before) together with its yarnover.
brp (brioche purl - also known as a burp): purl the stitch (which was slipped in the row before) together with its yarn over.
4 stitch left slant decrease: Slip the next 4 stitches knitwise, one at a time, onto right needle, brk the following stitch, then pass the 4 slipped stitches over the stitch just worked. 4 stitches decreased. This places the first of the five stitches (the marked stitch) on top of the others, and slants to the left.
4 stitch right slant decrease: Brk1, place this stitch back on left needle, pass the following 4 stitches over, then return stitch to right needle. 4 stitches decreased. This places the last of the 5 stitches on top of the others, and slants to the right.
m1 (make 1): bring yarn between the needles to front of work, then over right needle to back of work. When m1 is followed by a yf sl1yo, you will then need to again bring the yarn forward under needle for the beginning of this next stitch.
sl1yof (slip 1, yarnover, yarn to front): with working yarn in front, slip the next stitch purlwise, then bring the yarn over the needle (and over the slipped stitch) then back to the front and under the needle in position to purl the following stitch.
yf sl1yo (yarn forward, slip 1 purlwise, yarnover): bring the working yarn under the needle to the front of the work, slip the next stitch purlwise, then bring the yarn over the needle (and over the slipped stitch) to the back in position to work the following stitch.
