Fisherman's Rib Knit Stitch
I know, that there can be different names for this stitch, but I like this one. If you know any other names, you can leave your version in the comments below this post.
Note: Given the elasticity of brioche, you should cast on and bind off very loosely.
Knit version.
Cast on an even number of sts.
Set-up row: Knit all sts.
Pattern row: * K1, k1b; repeat from * to end.
Repeat pattern row until you have reached your desired length.
Purl version
Cast on an even number of sts.
Set-up row: Purl all sts.

I'm confused with these directions. I was always taught to K1, P1 across row. In the second row, Begin opposite to what the end stitch was such as if the last stich was a knit then start row with a Pearl stitch and work across. Is this wrong?

I don't think, that it's wrong, maybe, the author of this tutorial made some modifications
