Going from 0 to 100 as a beginner knitter (Stockinette to Brioche scarf)
Showing off my WIP as I don’t have knitting friends irl (very new YouTube/self taught beginner knitter here)
I’ve read somewhere here that it’s a beginner rite of passage to make a stockinette stitch scarf only to realise it starts to **curl and gets curlier** and I wasn’t going for that look for my first scarf
So I searched for free scarf patterns online until I found the fluffiest looking lay-flat scarf, started at the other end of the yarn ball and after many false starts (frogging entire thing every time I made a mistake) + many youtube videos re fixing said mistakes so I don’t have to start from scratch + learning about lifelines, I am finally getting somewhere with a Brioche knit scarf
Didn’t realise at first that this isn’t exactly a typical “beginner project” but once I got set up, it’s actually not…that difficult? I’m very slow and live in fear of dropping a stitch… and I now understand why they’re called lifelines… but overall having a good time!
All that to say, I recommend anyone attempt this stitch as I think it looks more intimidating than it actually is! And it’s so **FLUFFY** I can’t wait to have a finished scarf… next year 🤣
