This pattern includes directions for the Broadleaf Brioche Wrap as well as the Broadleaf Brioche Scarf.

Designed to increase the already decadent squishiness of some lofty handspun angora-merino wool yarn, this brioche scarf is addictive once you get it started! Both sides of the fabric look equally good, making this reversible fabric ideal for a scarf or wrap. The brioche stitch pattern reminds me of broadleaf plantain, an edible wild food with purported healing properties.

Rated as an intermediate knit by test knitters Jenny, Carol, Darite & Suguna.
