Note on Construction

This scarf starts off with a two-color Italian cast-on. Next, there are a total of three set-up rows, one is a tubular row to help stabilize the cast-on followed by two set-up rows to prepare you for brioche knitting. 

The body of the scarf is knit up in an 18 stitch by 8 row repeatable pattern, plus an extra stitch on each end to create a selvage edge.

The brioche pattern involves both increases and decreases which balance so the stitch count does not change throughout. 

Once you’ve reached the end, the scarf is bound off in an Italian Bind Off. From there you have the choice of sewing the ends together to make an infinity scarf, or you can leave them separate.
