The scarf is knitted in DS Brioche with a slip DS selvedge and is decorated with four tassels. Its striking pattern is a result of two factors: Intentional pooling (a technique to control the colour repeats of hand-dyed yarn) and Brioche stitch structure (in each row only every second stitch is knitted). When knitted with variegated yarn, the knit columns are different colours from the purl columns, in the same way as two-coloured brioche. Therefore in addition to the pooling diagonals the scarf has a shadow effect as well!
