Pattern specs
CONSTRUCTION
- Saurel is worked flat, on the diagonal from end to end.
- The pattern is worked in two-color Brioche knitting. The Main Color (MC) is carried throughout. The Contrast Color (CC) changes between Color 1 (C1) and Color 2 (C2) to create stripes.
- When working flat two-color Brioche stitch you will work with one color per row, changing the color after every row. The work is turned every two rows, with stitches pushed to the other end of the circular needle as needed to start the next color.
- The scarf is reversible. As such, take care to weave in ends invisibly or consider using the Felted Join to join new skeins of yarn.

- 13”/33 cm wide; 78”/198 cm long from point to point
