Champion Nero of Bantyscoot Scarf

The most cushy, squishy brioche ribbed stitch is also super easy to memorize. The design is inspired by a scarf worn by the great detective Nero Wolfe while he took a trek through the winter wilds of Westchester, New York. The scarf is a short length, easy to tuck into a coat, but make it as long as you want! It will keep the wearer warm in the coldest of weather. For maximum coziness, choose a soft, lofty yarn.

Gauge is not critical, but changes may result in more yarn being needed. Use any yarn with appropriate needles. Instructions are both written and charted. Exact finished size will depend on how aggressively the piece is blocked. The hat in the main photo is “My Favorite Engineer,” pattern available separately.
