This brioche scarf pattern is set up in a tutorial fashion so that you can follow the progression of learning the steps of one color brioche, then two color brioche, and back to one color brioche. This allows you to learn the building blocks and terminology of each section before proceeding to the next.

There are sections for one-color and two-color scarves as well.

Long gradient yarns lend a dramatic look to this scarf but you can use any colors that you think will complement each other.

You will need at least a 24” circular needle that is one or two sizes under the recommendation on the ball band for your chosen yarn. You have to use a circular because the stitches will be slid from side to side on the needle.

You might want to make a swatch of one-color brioche to see what needle size works best. I usually go down two sizes from the ball band; but a tighter knitter might only need to go down one.

Brioche uses up a lot of yarn; the scarf pictured above was 2 balls of Schoppel Gradient.

You will need two different skeins of either worsted or DK yarn. For a short scarf, 200 yards of each will suffice. For a long scarf I would recommend 400 yards of each yarn.
