Brioche Endless Tree Scarf

This scarf is a combination of 4 Brioche patterns of intermediate difficulty level. It was my first design try, and I developed it as an exercise to practice my “Brioche stitch counting skills”, which caused me problems at the start.

I have tried to explain each step of the knitting process in detail, but please contact me if you like additional help with the pattern.

The scarf is knitted in 2 halves starting from the “tree” end, which are joined at the “plain rib” end when completed. The scarf ends form a tapered curve due to the way in which the increased and decreased stitches warp the fabric, and are slightly wider than the centre. The pattern includes written instructions and charts for each section.

I used 2 variegated yarns in a machine washable quality, but it is equally beautiful in solid yarns or in a combination of both; I find that yarn with an amount of “bounce” (such as wool) or with a “halo” (like mohair) work best for this design.
