This pattern is much more than just a scarf pattern; it is a Tutorial and Introduction to Brioche Knitting with a step-by-step guide

• through the principles of brioche,
• three single colour brioche stitches
• to two-colour brioche knitting.

Included in this pattern are also two easy projects:

• a two-colour ribbed scarf and
• the Whichever Way scarf.

In the tutorial you also find useful tips how to identify where you are in the row counting when having lost your count or having had an interruption.
