Kessel Scarf is knit bottom-up in the round to create a long tube, starting with a plain brioche section. You then go into a simple crossed pattern, repeated several times with plain sections in between.
This design by Mieka @Salt&StoneKnits is quite easy to start trying brioche knitting, but has a very stylish elegance and wearability for any occasion. Fun detail is you may choose to seam the ends shut to make a cowl, so that the scarf lays flatter, or to stitch them together to create a long tube cowl.
Mieka used Pure and Simple Wool - Salvia - as CC color and - Pino - as MC color.
We thought to suggest a few other combinations we adore, in colder or warmer shades:
CC Color: Foschia - MC Color: Ambra
CC Color: Latte e Menta - MC Color: Hocus Pocus
CC Color: Pattini - MC Color: Onice
You may pick up the shades you prefer directly in the SHOP, to build your combination; we dyed some extra colorways of A Pure and Simple Wool, so that you can have plenty of options.
Please note that all shades are available as preorders
Please remember that the pattern is NOT included with the yarn purchase, you cand find it on Ravelry HERE
