Pattern Brioche Scarf

Knitting pattern Brioche Scarf 

The Brioche Scarf can keep you warm in many different ways. Wear it around your neck, over your shoulders, or let it drape down like a poncho in front. Tie it over your shoulders and use it as a back warmer. If you wish, you can also wear the Brioche Scarf wrapped around the head.

The Brioche Scarf is worked flat, top down on circular needles. You increase at four points on the scarf, creating a large scarf shaped like a V-triangle. You can also choose to knit the Brioche Scarf in a petite version.

The knitting pattern shows three options of the Brioche Scarf, using different yarn qualities and colours. Option 1 - Knitting for Olive Merino and Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair. Option 2 - Kid Seta Tweed and Wild & Soft. Option 3 - Knitting for Olive No Waste Wool and Knitting for Olive Soft Silk Mohair.
