<\/a><\/a>
\nRed Scarf
\nYarn: Lamb’s Pride Burly Spun in Strawberry Patch<\/a>
\nNeedles: Size 13
\nPattern: brioche rib over 12 stitches for approx 68 inches
\nNotes: I could have widened this to 15 stitches or lengthened it considerably and still had yarn left over.<\/p>\n

This was for the Red Scarf project<\/a>, so it needed to be fairly gender neutral since I don’t know who the recipient will be. My husband thinks it looks a bit more masculine than strictly neutral. I’d wear it, but then, I’m not known for my strong feminine streak. I got the yarn at a half-off bulky yarn sale at Knit One, Stitch Too<\/a> in Huntersville, NC. It’s been in my stash since last summer, so I’m glad to have the chance to put it to good use.<\/p>\n

Ever since I made a hat in brioche stitch<\/a>, I’ve wanted to use it again, so this was a good opportunity. It’s thick and reversible, two good qualities in a warm scarf.
\n

\nI made a little video of myself knitting one row so that people can see the motions. It’s very easy to do, but when I first read the instructions, it took me a bit to get the gist of what the author was saying, so maybe this will help someone who’s a visual learner. Brioche rib is a good choice to help reduce pooling in space-dyed yarns. (Forgive the site name super on the video, you never know what a Browncoat might stumble across. Visibility, you know!)

I’ll enjoy thinking of this scarf around the neck of a college student somewhere. I hope it keeps them warm, in many senses of the word.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
