Brioche is fascinating. It looks deceptively like stockinette and yet, conspicuously like not. Strong and architectural visually, yet squishy and stretchy to wear. BriocheStitch.com was my go-to reference for this scarf. I used soft Valley Yarns merino in worsted weight.Mum knit this scarf so beautifully. It was to be a gift for my sister. Greedy pays - its mine now. :)
Recipe
Select 3 colours that have a fair amount of contrast to create a bold look. Mine were gray, blue and coffee.
CO an even number in coffee
Next row: knit the regular brioche stitch in gray
Next row: knit the regular brioche stitch in blue
continue knitting in brioche with every row a different color. Drop the color you knitted the row with, pick up the other yarn available on that side (there will only be one other yarn on that side) and continue knitting.
Continue for about 55 inches. The scarf builds slowly as it takes 2 rows of knitting to create 1 row of brioche. Bind off with the same color that you cast on with. Weave in ends.
