Brioche Scarf: Update
February 21st, 2005 at 5:52 pm (scarf)
My Brioche scarf is the easiest of all my projects right now. I save it for when I need really uber mindless knitting. It would be done except for the fact that I try to not work on it too often because the yarn I’m using is super soft (Debbie Blish Cashmerino) I really want to enjoy knitting with it.
The brioche rib pattern makes this a super ultra squishy feeling scarf. I originally was making a slightly wider scarf, but didn’t think I’d like that much thickness around my neck. I re-cast on from the other end of the ball and left out 4 stitches. Now I think it’s just about right. I’m about halfway into the 2nd ball, and for the perfect length I’ll probably end up using a tiny bit of a third ball. I have four balls total, so I should have enough to make a cute little hat to go along with it. I might do an all Brioche hat, or I might put a few cables in it - we’ll have to see how daring I feel, and how much yarn I really do have left.
