Enjoy playing with color with this 2 color brioche infinity scarf pattern! Mix and match solids, variegated yarns, or stripes of color. 

The sizes and gauge given are guidelines, any size yarn or needles can be used. You may cast on fewer or more stitches as long as they are in even number quantities.

Instructions:

Setup:

With mc, cast on 240 stitches. Use a stretchy cast on such as a long tail or tubular method.

Do not turn, slide stitches to other end of needle to start work at cast on beginning. Pick up cc and wyif, *sl1yo, p; repeat from * to end. 

Making sure not to twist the stitches, join needles for working in the round and attach a stitch marker to mark the round beginning.

Pattern Repeat:

Round 1 (first pass): with mc, *brk, sl1yo: repeat from * to end of round

Round 1 (second pass) with cc, *sl1yo, brp; repeat from * to end of round  

Repeat the 2 rounds for 10" or desired width. End after a mc round. 

Bind off using a stretchy bind off of your choosing. When binding off, treat the sl1yo stitches as 1 stitch and work them together. 

Example of stretchy bind off: 

Knit 2 stitches, slide stitches back to left needle and knit together through the back loop. (one stitch on right needle), knit one, then slide 2 stitches back onto left needle and repeat the process until 1 stitch remains. Break yarn and pull through. 

Weave in ends with tapestry needle and block if needed..
