Reversible Brioche Infinity Scarf
Switching between brioche knit and brioche purl mid-row results in a two-tone, vertically striped, reversible cowl. One column of color is held constant and serves as an anchor for the color play of shifting hues in the other column. I-cord edges add a neat finish.

NOTES
• Gauge is not critical for this project, but deviating from these measurements may effect yardage requirements, particularly for the MC.
• This pattern calls for a tight brioche stitch; block gently to achieve an ideal drape. When blocking brioche, pin the piece to the desired measurements and spray with water or water with a drop or two of wool wash. The finished measurements for the cowl were achieved using this technique. If you fully submerge your piece, these dimensions may be difficult to obtain.
• There are no right and wrong sides to this piece, but for ease in working the two-color brioche rib, odd-numbered rows are designated as RS rows, and even-numbered rows are designated as WS rows.
