Basic Brioche Scarf

Brioche is so wonderfully squishy and delicious – both the French pastry and the plush knitted kind! This basic brioche scarf is the kind of project you reach for when you want rhythmic, comforting knitting that grows quickly in your hands and becomes a satisfyingly soft everyday accessory. I originally made this scarf for my son to wear to school and he says it feels like I am sending him off with a hug. I wanted to share the love with all of you – whether the hug is for you or someone else.
