Junction

• Product description

  Brioche knitting gathers stitches into soft wales, warm and airy and perfect to wrap about your neck. This scarf tips the central panel on the bias between parallel tracks for a distinctive and modern look. Once you’ve established the increases and decreases, Junction is a meditative knit. The pattern contains a scarf with traditional dimensions and a slightly oversized version that makes more visual impact. Brioche fabric won’t reveal its qualities until you’ve knit a few inches — wait to assess the effects and check your gauge.

  NEEDLES

  Size A (for Brioche Fabric) 

  • One pair of straight needles or a 32” circular needle*, in size needed to obtain gauge listed 
  • Suggested Size: 3¾ mm (US 5)

  
  

  Size B (for Tubular Cast On; optional) 

  • One pair of straight needles or a 32” circular needle*, one size smaller than Size A 
  • Suggested Size: 3½ mm (US 4)

  
  

  *Knitter’s preferred style of needle may be used. If you are working a Tubular Bind Off, use circular needles so that you may slide the stitches from one end to the other.

  
  

  Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
