Waffle Brioche, or Plaited Brioche Stitch

All slipped stitches are to be slipped knitwise with the yarn held to the back.

Rows 1 and 3, the two stitches are are knit together through the back loop are a yarn over and a knit stitch.

Rows 2 and 4, the yarn over tends to cover the second stitch that you are to knit.  You may need to hold the yarn over out of the way with your thumb or finger to get to the second stitch.

Sl = slip

Multiple of 3 + 2
