Slalom Scarf

This project is a gentle introduction to brioche intarsia colorwork. The wavy colorblocking was inspired by the path a skier leaves in the snow as they make their way down a mountain.

If you already know 2-color brioche, you may find the intarsia color changes in brioche stitch to be easier than they are in stockinette stitch! The pattern uses simple brioche increases and decreases to change the ratio of the colors on each side of the wave. The shaping instructions are simple and easy to memorize so you can focus on learning the intarsia technique.

If you haven’t tried any brioche stitch before, you may want to try a simple project first to learn the terminology.
