Meant to mimic chain mail used in knight’s armor, this beautiful two-color brioche stitch perfectly emulates the intricacy and depth of the layers of metal linked together to form a protective barrier for the wearer. Once you get the rhythm of the 2 color brioche down, it becomes quite the relaxing knit.
The stitch is not only appropriate for both men and women, but
looks just as beautiful on the wrong side (a must for all of my scarf patterns!) making it easy to wear too. The layers of linked stitches also makes it warm and cozy, shutting out the cold, but knit with a sport weight yarn, it has a beautiful drape to it.
This 2 color brioche stitch works best with a dark color as the CC and a lighter color as the MC. Pattern requires approximately 377 yards of EACH color.
This pattern must be worked on circular needles as you will need to slide the stitches to the other side every other row instead of turning your work. Cannot be done on straight needles.
