Pay What You Choose: In the interest of making my patterns financially accessible to all knitters while still honouring the time and work that went into creating them, I’m including ‘Pay What You Choose’ tiered pricing for my patterns. You may notice an increase in the baseline price; that is because I believe it represents a fair amount of compensation for my time and craft. If you can afford the full price, I am glad; if you cannot, please choose a price you are willing to pay, no questions asked. Tiered pricing works on the honour system and I will never know your financial ability, but I would very much like designing knitting patterns to be sustainable for me. Here is a list of the coupon codes and the discounts they represent:

No Code: $9.00 CAD
Orchestra: 10% off
BoxSeats: 20% off
Mezzanine: 30% off

I first saw the brioche stitch many years ago in Pam Allen’s Brioche Bag pattern when I picked up Lynne Barr’s Reversible Knitting: 50 Brand-New, Groundbreaking Stitch Patterns. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to play with the stitch in the nerdy arena of a very iconic scarf belonging to a time traveling doctor. I took the famous scarf and tesseracted it together using the brioche stitch. It even has the original number of stitches and rows. It takes time to complete (more than 6 years, in my case, because I am lazy…), but I promise squishy satisfaction!

To knit this scarf, you will need:
Approximately 7 balls with 200 meters/219 yards each of worsted weight yarn; 1 each in purple, tan, red, copper, yellow, grey, and olive colours (I used Rowan Pure Wool Superwash Worsted in 121 Morello, 104 Toffee, 106 Rust, 132 Buttercup, 135 Papaya, 111 Granite, and 128 Hazel.)
4mm circular needles with a 40 cm/16 inch cable (size 6 US)
tapestry needle to weave in ends

Gauge:
18 stitches and 22 rows = 10 cm/4 inches in brioche stitch

Finished scarf: 2.15 meters/2.35 yards

Required Skills
knit, brioche knit, brioche purl, cast on, bind off

Notes
The required skills are written into the pattern
with the exception of the cast on and bind-off,
which are knitter’s choice.
