This stunning two colour brioche stitch scarf is inspired by the bracts of the bougainvillea plant. It has a leaf pattern which would show off a variegated yarn against a solid colour. The stitch pattern is reversible but not precisely the same so that the back of the scarf adds interest but has a less defined leaf pattern.

The scarf has a neat selvedge edge on both left and right to add to the finished effect.

This scarf has been both test knitted and tech edited for errors in order to ensure a pleasant knitting experience.
