So, here’s another scarf that combines the fluffiness of brioche with the elegance of lace - and because it’s brioche, it’s reversible. Once you get the hang of it, its fun to do - and I really like the result .
As to the name, the stitch pattern reminded me of certain piped chocolate biscuits that are tradional here, called Bärentatzen (which literally translates to bear claws, but American bear claws are a different bakery item). The photo at the end of this post shows Bärentatzen.
The pattern is available as a PDF
- on Ravelry,
- on Loveknitting,
- on Payhip and
- on Gumroad.
It is 10 pages long and contains:
- the complete written patterns to knit this scarf
- a chart of the pattern repeats
- photo tutorials for the following stitches /stitch combinations
- brk4stdec: a double centred decrease in brioch
- brk2stLdec: a left-leaning decrease in brioche
- brk2stRdec: a right-leaning decrease in brioche
- sl1yo, yo, brk: i.e. a yarn-over between two stitches when knitting brioche
- kp1, i.e. knitting two stitches of the sl1yo, yo into the yarn-over of the row below
- yo, sl1yo, brk: also a yarn-over between two stitches in brioche, but in a different sequence to make the pattern look symmetrical on the other side
- pk1, i.e. knitting two stitches of the yo, sl1yo into the yarn-over of the row below
Skills you need to finish this scarf
- knitting brioche (in one color)
- a certain stamina while knitting - this is knitted in lace weight yarn and brioche, i.e. it grows extremely slow
Materials
- about 250 to 300 grams of Lace weight yarn (I used Wollmeise lace, colorway Hamam)
- 3.25 mm knitting needles
- 1 removable stitch marker (or a bobby pin) to do the 4st brioche decrease
- a tapestry needle to weave in ends
