Day & Night Scarf
pdf download-pattern in English
Day & Night Scarf is a classic oblong scarf, worked in Silk mohair. The scarf is worked in a two-color Brioche pattern, which means that the scarf is worked using two different colors, with color 1 prominent on one side and color 2 prominent on the other. You start by knitting a ribbed section in color 1, the middle section is worked in two-color Brioche using both colors, and finally you finish with a corresponding ribbed section in color 2.
The Day & Night Scarf is knitted with nice details such as Italian cast-on and cast-off and neat edge stitches that give a nice finish along both edges of the scarf. Its knitted with two strands of Silkmohair.
The length of the scarf allows you to wrap it several times around your neck, or you can fold it in half and pull the ends through the loop. The two-color Brioche technique and the choice of yarn make the scarf very light and airy.
