7th Avenue
Introducing my Street Graffiti Collection!! There are 3 patterns included: Queensboro, 7th Avenue, and Broadway & 32nd Street! You can purchase this collection as an e-book or purchase each pattern individually!
7th Avenue :: A luscious scarf with texture and color play chevron stripes, using extreme opposite weight yarns to achieve contrasting densities of fabric, knit using one and two color brioche.
This scarf is part of my Street Graffiti Collection, featuring 3 patterns all using the same brioche chevron stripes. This collection is inspired by the time I spent living in New York, and are all named for streets that are dear to me. In my heart, I am a true New Yorker. The Interior Design office where I worked for many years was in a building on 7th Avenue, near the fashion district.
Fabulous for last minute gifts!! Grab 3 different colors of Super Bulky yarn, and one skein of lace weight yarn to knit this super cozy scarf!! I used a kidsilk lace with super bulky to create a very interesting fabric. This is a fabulous project for hand-spun and artistic yarns as well!!
Skill level: Intermediate. Basic brioche skills are not required, but are recommended. Techniques used: knit, purl, brioche knit (brk), brioche purl (brp), brioche increases and decreases, using two different weight yarns together.
Construction Notes: This rectangular scarf is knit flat from side to side, cast on edge to bind off edge. I originally cast this on to be a swatch, and then it just turned into the final product! The combination of Super Bulky and Lace weight yarn makes this scarf grow quickly and creates a very interesting final fabric. The pattern alternates between One-Color and Two-Color Brioche Stripes, while the lace pattern within causes a chevron in the center of the scarf. The One-Color Brioche Stripes use the Lace and Super Bulky yarn held double, while the Two-Color Brioche Stripes use the Lace yarn as the Main Color, and the Super Bulky yarn as the Contrast Color.
I wear this scarf tied in a knot loosely around my neck to add a pop of texture and warmth to any outfit.
