I promise, this Faux Brioche Scarf really is crochet! It is thick, squishy, super warm, and reversible. Upon first look, this scarf appears to be made from a knit brioche stitch, but it is actually crochet post stitches. The Lion Brand Heartland yarn makes it both soft and durable. Choose two colors that make you happy and make this scarf your very own. It is easy to make your scarf any size you would like by changing the cast on amount and the number of rows. This scarf makes a wonderful traveling project.

Row 1: With Color A, ch 200, cut yarn and fasten off.
Row 2: Turn, with Color B make a slip knot and place loop on hook, hdc in each ch across, cut yarn and fasten off.
Row 3: Turn, with Color A make a slip knot and place loop on hook, fphdc around each st across, cut yarn and fasten off.
Repeat Row 3, changing color each row, 26 more times.
Finishing:
Add more fringe if desired. Scarf in sample had one strand of each color folded in half and added to every set of 2 rows (fringe was attached around the outer stitches of 2 rows) this way the scarf did not flair at the bottom.
Trim fringe to desired length.

Love it!! Can’t wait to try this – I’ve recently gotten into knit brioche, but this is way easier!! Even though I don’t really need another scarf, this is in my queue for this winter. Thanx for sharing.
Thanks! It’s so fun to do, and everyone is always so impressed with it, so I never tell them how easy it is. 😉
can I do this in one color?
yes
