Who Doesn't Love Biscuits?

I've put another free pattern up on Ravelry - this is for my Biscuit Scarf. I admit, I'm glad it's finally cold enough to wear & enjoy this!

I’ve found directions for both a little confusing, so I was delighted to find an old book with instructions that made sense and made the whole process less confusing. The combination of self-striping yarn & simplified instructions made this such a pleasure to knit that I’ve named this scarf pattern “Biscuit”. Just like quick breads, this is fast & easy, with an end result that’s a pleasure to enjoy!

Most brioche stitch patterns that I’ve seen use a smaller needle than the yarn typically calls for, to give a more dense fabric. This pattern utilizes the opposite logic, and uses a larger needle for a somewhat lacy and open effect.

Hopefully this will help keep us all warm through the upcoming winter!
