Malabrigo Cable Scarf

Yes your photos are much clearer and encouraging that i might one day actually knit it. Yes i am having trouble getting those beautiful knit ribs that i have accomplished in a knit below brioche stitch but not the slip one, yarnover, knit -as instucted in the fireflowerknits pattern.

I would really appreciate any help you can give or advice where i can get this pattern with a little more detail – even a chart – a video would be great – for this first time knitter of the Cabled Brioche Scarf.

Congrats on your fantasticly perfect scarf! Wow!

[…] I go through to photograph myself. Glare is not kind. But you can see my final FO–the Malabrigo cabled brioche scarf. Wow! So soft! So cushy! So warm! This might be my favorite hand knit so far. It was wonderful in […]

I love Etsy.com for buttons! Also, I like to sew my public button to a smaller private button.

You put a toothpick btw the buttons you’re using (to make a little space btw) and then you just slip the smaller button into the knitting. It holds well and when you wash you just slip the thing off your piece and you don’t have to worry about buttons getting destroyed/messed up while washing.

The tootchpick is a bit fiddly but it really helps to hold a proper space btw the buttons.

That looks good! I just got some malagrigo and I’m looking forward to working with it. Kind of strange to use a thick wool when I live in Orlando, but I can always use it as an accessory around a jacket.

PS. I work my neckwarmers in the round on circulars, or if on straight needles I kitchener them. The buttons idea is interesting, though…

What a beautiful thing! I am totally hooked on Malabrigo and neckwarmers myself. Have you tried making one in Ridged Feather stitch? It looks fabulous. Can you tell me where I can find a pattern for your cabled brioche stitch? I have finally managed to acquire some Malabrigo (it’s almost impossible to find them here in Italy!) and I would like to make one like yours if you do not mind it. Thanks a lot and Happy Knitting!
