I named these scarves Damara for the damask inspired design worked in the double knit section. Damara is a fun scarf that incorporates the two techniques: double knitting and two color brioche. It starts with the pretty double knitted design, then moves seamlessly into two color brioche for the body of the scarf and then ends with the double knitted design. I used Plucky Snug Worsted for the sample, a wonderful yarn that is perfect for this design. There is a thorough description of each technique and helpful hints. Even if you are not familiar with these techniques, these pretty scarves would be a great way to expand your knitting knowledge!

Size: 69” long and 6” wide, blocked. 60” long and 6” wide, unblocked.

Materials:
Yarn: Plucky Knitter Snug Worsted, 70% merino, 20% cashmere, 10% alpaca; 230 yds (210 m) per 115g skein; color: Scarf A, Pup Tent & Hi-Ho Silver (green and light gray scarf), Scarf B, Tin Type & Cherries On the Mall (dark gray and pink scarf), 1 skein of each color.
Needles: Size 7/4.5mm circular needles.
Other: Locking marker or safety pin to mark RS, tapestry needle.
Gauge: 18 sts and 22 rows = 4” in Double Knit (Since this is the Double Knit gauge there will actually be 36 sts on the needle, but only 18 will be showing). Gauge is not critical.

Notes:
This scarf is reversible. The ends are worked in double knitting and the center in two-color brioche stitch. I find that when working reversible scarves, it is helpful to mark the RS with a locking stitch marker or a safety pin.
Gauge is not critical and any yarn weight between a DK and worsted works well for this pattern. To make sure you do not run out of yarn I would suggest weighing your skeins before you start and then again after you finish the beginning double knit section. This will give you the weight of yarn needed to work the ending double knit section, so you can work the brioche section to your desired length, leaving enough yarn to finish the ending double knit section.
