North By Northwest
- Intersecting lines & textures are featured in this soft & warm infinity scarf, which makes use of the half fisherman’s rib stitch to provide a deep ribbed texture, contrasting with intersecting stripes of stockinette.
- Worked on the bias, the patterns are based on an easy 4-row repeat, & provide a nice introduction to the concept of brioche knitting, but with much faster progress, since every other row is a simple knit row.
- The intersecting lines, which are interesting both with tonal or high contrast yarns, occur at designated intervals along the length of the scarf, but feel free to determine your own spacing as you wish.
