Two-colour Brioche is a very popular stitch pattern, with beautiful textured lines. But the edges sometimes can spoil the appearance.
A new type of selvedge, Distitch (DS) selvedge, will solve this problem. My technique provides strong and very decorative edges to any brioche project.

The method of working DS selvedges for two-colour brioche is different from DS selvedges for one-colour brioche: see the Fringed Brioche Scarf published in 2020.

The Duo Brioche Scarf pattern includes written instructions, clear diagrams and a video tutorial, now with a voice over, for Continental and English styles of knitting.

The width and the length of the scarf can be easily changed: simply adjust the number of cast-on stitches, and work at any desired length. Any yarn can be used: fingering, DK or bulky.
