Note!
44 rnds of brioche stitch are counted as 22 rnds. When counting stitches in brioche stitch, yarnovers are not included in the stitch count, they are paired with a knit or purl stitch, the knit/yarnover or purl/yarnover pair is counted as a single stitch. Make sure that you steam block or block your sample swatch before measuring your gauge as brioche stitch expands a lot when washed.
