How to knit the Two-Color Brioche stitch (scarf pattern)
The Two-Color Brioche stitch is a great pattern for a scarf or an infinite cowl (the pattern is suitable for both projects). Why? First of all, because it’s fluffy, chunky, and stretchy, like me. Secondly, although we’ll be using two colors, the join is invisible, yes… invisible! Thirdly, it’s a four-row reversible pattern, identical on both sides. However, the main color will change, depending on the side you’re looking at. Make it for yourself or for your other half, combine the colors as you prefer, and you’ll always have a new design with not too much effort 😉 Last, but not least, if you haven’t tried the Brioche stitch at…
