Like the pastry, the brioche stitch creates a light, airy and puffy stitch. This is a gorgeous and squishy texture perfect for garments, like the Toasty Tunisian Brioche Scarf.
Brioche in Tunisian Crochet looks almost identical to knitted brioche but the technique is different. Two stitches and a one row repeat are used to create this texture, making it an almost mindless project to crochet. I love listening to my favorite music while working on projects like this one and they seem to fly off of my hook.
THE YARN
As soon as I saw Universal Yarn Major in Silver Blush, I knew that I wanted to crochet a brioche scarf with it and it was perfect. Major is a 5 Bulky weight yarn and it is super squishy, soft and lightweight making the Toasty Tunisian Brioche Scarf both warm, and super lightweight which makes it very cozy and fun to wear. The hues and color changes in Silver Blush are subtle and pretty neutral colors that will go with all of my fall and winter outfits.
THE HOOK
This pattern does require a tunisian crochet hook. I used my Furls 12" Cruella Deville Tunisian Hook in Size K 6.5 mm but a hook with a cord or a metal long hook will also work.
THE STITCH
The Brioche Stitch uses the tunisian simple stitch and the tunisian twisted simple stitch. The tunisian twisted simple stitch is a variation on the tunisian simple stitch. It sounds difficult but after some practice, this stitch becomes just as easy as other stitches. These two stitches are used in a one row repeat to create this beautiful texture.
