Make a stylish entrance this season in the syncopated Braided Zebra Brioche knit scarf! Knit from end to end in a wide braided Brioche stitch that “syncopates” or reverses the dominant stitch color ever several repeats, this scarf can be successfully knit in any weight yarn from fingering through worsted.
I chose to knit mine in fingering weight for the enhanced drapability, and used almost the full 2 skeins (425 yards per skin) of the off white and charcoal Merino Wool yarn I knit this in.
The scarf ended up being 7 feet long and about 8.5 inches wide. Flip the scarf over and the dominant colors are reversed on each side. Full written instructions as well as several video help links are included within the pattern.
