Brioche Knit Scarf
Materials List
4 skeins of Purl Soho’s Gentle Giant, 100% merino wool. We used the color Clay Pot but made a swatch of each of our new colors. From the top, they are Orange Koi, Clay Pot, Cowrie Pink, Silver Mauve, Iceberg Blue and Mint Ice.
US 17 straight or circular needles
GAUGE: 4 1/2 stitches = 4 inches in stitch pattern
SIZE: Finished Dimensions: 8 inches wide x 84 inches long
NOTES
ABBREVIATIONS
Slip 1: Slip 1 purlwise with yarn in front.
Slip 1, yo (slip 1, yarn over): Bring yarn to front of work, slip 1 stitch purlwise, bring the working yarn over the right-hand needle to the back of the work so the yarn is lying on top of the slipped stitch.
Slip 1, dyo (slip 1, double yarn over): Bring yarn to front of work, slip 1 stitch purlwise together with the yarn over from the previous row, bring the working yarn over the right-hand needle to the back of the work so the yarn is lying on top of the slipped stitch and first yarn over.
bk3tog (brioche knit 3 together): Knit next knit stitch together with both of its paired yarn overs, i.e. knit 1 stitch together with 2 yarn overs.
TIP
When you place yarn overs and double yarn overs on the second stitch in Rows 1 and 2, be careful to not work the yarn overs too tightly so that you get a nice and even selvage!

Loosely cast on 11 stitches.
Set-Up Row 1 (wrong side): Slip 1 (see Notes), *k1, slip 1, yo (see Notes), repeat from * to last 2 stitches, k2.
Set-Up Row 2 (right side): Slip 1, *k1, slip 1, dyo (see Notes), repeat from * to last 2 stitches, k2.
