Fantastic Brioche Scarf Free Knit Pattern

fantastic brioche knit scarf free pattern

Brioche stitch is considered an advanced level knit stitch. However, one of the things that I love to do most is teach people all of the tricks that they need in order to do more with crochet and knitting. Therefore, I have put together some video tutorials for the Fantastic Brioche Scarf free knit pattern. With these videos, you’ll learn how to do the brioche stitch, how to read your brioche knitting, and how to brioche purl. Then when you’re done, you’ll have this fantastic brioche scarf. The scarf is a free pattern on Yarnspirations.com and the video tutorials are available on the Marly Bird YouTube Channel.

What Is Brioche Knitting?

Brioche knitting is technique that uses tucked stitches and working into the row below to create uniquely layered knitting. Brooklyn Tweed describes it aptly as: “a distinctive knitted ribbing technique that is recognizable by its heightened, doughy texture.”

Worked with two colors, as in this scarf, it creates beautiful colorwork as well as texture in the design. You essentially use knit stitches, yarnovers and slipped stitches to create this great texture. So, even though it’s considered an advanced knitting technique – and you’ll certainly impress yourself by what you can create once you learn it – it’s not as hard to do as it might at first seem.
