When you don’t want the floppyness of a scarf. Part 1
One skein projects are like antidepressants in a ball. It’s like, just whip one up and you’re instantly happy.
I love this thing. And here’s the free pattern:
Fourteen
Materials:
- One skein Araucania’s Limari Multicolor in #556 (61 yds/56m - 100g)
- One pair US 13 needles
- Three 1″ buttons (I used M & J Trimming Style # 21981 Size 44L/28mm in Burgundy.)
Gauge not really important.
Cast on 14 sts. Work brioche rib for approx 20″. For those unfamiliar - brioche rib is accomplished by knitting the first row, then on the next and every following row, *K1, knit one stitch into the row below, repeat from *, ending with K2. Every row is worked the same.
Next row: knit
Next row: k3, yo, k2tog, k2, yo, k2tog, k2, yo, k2tog, k2.
Knit 2 rows
BO in garter st.
Weave in ends, and wrap around your neck, marking for where you want the buttons, or just put them here:
And be fabulous.
Like me.
Enjoy.
What a sexy little scarf! Thanks for the pattern!
Fabulous! I love that thing, too.
That’s awesome! Thanks for the pattern!!!!!
thanks for the pattern, sweet man. “antidepressants in a ball” indeed!
Um, for those of us who are unfamiliar, could you provide details about the brioche rib? It’s beautiful, by the way! Thanks for the pattern.

Fantastic!
Great idea!…and it does make you look fabulous!
iloveit!!!!!!!!!! i wouldn’t wear a shirt either. that scarf is hottt.
fabulous!
thanks for the pattern!
it does look REALLY warm. no shirt required.
You do look fabulous, my dear. I agree that we need these quick one skein projects to cheer us up once in a while.
This is perfect! I was just thinking of designing something like this. Now I don’t have to. Thanks!
yeah wooly things on a bare background is something else. like a sleek two piece suit and no shirt.
oh yeah knitting can keep you sane. with only one ball.
you are extremely fabulous.
Dudor, you are such a hot mess! (and the knitting ain’t bad either!)
I think i’ll whip one of these up for.. oh.. I dunno… EVERYONE ON MY CHRISTMAS LIST! lmao
Love.
It’s the perfect knit for my dad - he’s always cold!
Hello! I read SwissMiss, and you and your scarf are on her site (with a link back to you). http://swissmiss.typepad.com/weblog/
ok, i love this scarf. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. i, however, have no clue how to knit, but would learn JUST so i could make it.
your pattern is a bunch of jibberish to me. could you (or some other kind soul) perhaps direct me somewhere so i can understand it and learn the wonderful art of knitting? please??? pretty please??
much love!
ann
oh and one more thing:
you, my friend, are gorgeous.
I love it!
thanks for the pattern! I made this last night with charcoal gray yarn and black leather buttons. very cute! I can forsee knitting many more of these in the coming week for holiday presents.
I just want to say thank you so much for this pattern. I tried the stitch and I love it.
Happy holidays!
Thanks for the brioche stitch hook up! Your scarflet is kicking some major a**.
hot hot hot!
This has made me obsessed with knitting. I feel somewhat emasculated!
that is pretty nice!
Love this - the yarn is delicious! Thank you for sharing!
The scarf is almost as hot as the owner
Nice job as always 
lol - knitting soooooo keeps me sane!!! thanks for sharing the pattern. LOVE your blog!!! ill have to stick it on my list of places to frequently visit. thanks
OMG!
So in love with this delicousness!
I was looking for a no fuss no muss pattern for a dear friend. Something butch, sexy and wouldn’t mess up her hair because, well, toque head isn’t sexy is it? This is perfect for my oh so gender blender high maintence butch. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
Sweet! Must try this sometime…
Love, love, love this!!! Your wooly zoloft is already working it’s magic and I haven’t even started knitting yet.
Hi!
Love this scarf and i´m trying to do it. I´ve frogged it 3 times already… My question is: how do you make the sides look so nice? (maybe it´s a stupid question but I´m new to this).
Thanks a lot for the pattern and the scarf is great.

I love this! Are there any buttonholes to make or are the buttons there for decoration only?
this is cool, but had a hard time at first because brioche has to be worked in multiples of three to work, so cast on 15.
Love the yarn choice!
Ana: You can make sides look better by slipping the first stitch of every row.
