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.

Sizing / Finished Measurements
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.

Approx. 500 yards (457 m) of sport weight yarn for the one colour version, and approx. 250 yards (228 m) of EACH colour for the two colour version. For a longer and wider scarf you will need additional yarn.
