Bloom's Basic Brioche Scarf
This simple brioche scarf is a perfect pattern to employ all those treasured mini skeins and leftover bits and bobs we makers seem to accumulate. Through the nearly twenty years that I have been knitting, I have made many iterations of this scarf. Each version has been tweaked and refined, ultimately landing on what I think of as the perfect dimensions for a scarf. Which is to say, not so narrow as to feel/look scrimpy, but not so long or wide as to waste knitterly focus or yardage.
When picking your colors, please choose a wide array of hues that, well, make you happy! Any fingering weight yarn can be used for this project: single ply, sock, variegated, speckled, solid, muted, neon, EVERYTHING. When they’re in a jumble, you might think they don’t go together. But you’ll find that once you start knitting the stripes, a good part of the fun will be planning your next color – or set of colors – so that your scarf starts to tell a beautiful color story!
