About the Pattern
Teach yourself brioche knitting with this fun and easy scarf pattern. Beautiful I-cord edging surrounds the scarf on all four sides for a pretty bit of detailing. Instructions are provided for both one colour and two colour brioche versions. Knit one or knit both!
Pattern has been test-knit and tech-edited.

The pattern is written for one size. Final measurements are 7˝(18 cm) x 72˝ (183 cm) after blocking. For a wider or longer scarf, work extra repeats of the herringbone brioche pattern.
