Brioche and Traveling Cable Turtleneck Scarf

This scarf is made using a Brioche stitch combined with a traveling cable. The turtleneck section is also made using one of the brioche stitches. Brioche stitches tend to have a fullness and dimensionality not found in other knitting stitches. This one is bordered with a garter stitch which is slightly wavy as a result of the traveling cables. If you’re a good knitter, but are unfamiliar with the brioche family of stitches, you will not enjoy this pattern. (There is several simpler brioche patterns in my portfolio if you would like to try an easier brioche pattern.  This pattern is both charted and written out line by line.

Skill Level: Advanced (assuming a good working knowledge of knitting, slipped stitches, cabling and brioche knitting. If you’re not familiar with brioche knitting, this is not the pattern for you).

Any sport weight yarn, yielding 6 sts/in on size (US) #4 (3.5mm) needles in stockinette stitch, will work for this pattern.
