This scarf has been designed for the Scheepjes Botanical Brioche Make-A-Long, running from February 4-25, 2026! When you purchase the pattern, you’ll receive information to help you choose your yarn and swatch in preparation for the MAL. You will receive the full pattern automatically in your Ravelry library on February 4, 2026.

To find the MAL, visit one of the vibrant Official Scheepjes Facebook Groups — International or Dutch. I hope to see you there!

This reversible DK-weight scarf combines garter stitch, textured ridges, and brioche ribbing with beautiful brioche leaves. Although the leaves may appear complicated, there are only 2 pattern rows — the rest is identical to brioche ribbing. So if you’re ready to step up your brioche game, this is a great way to do it!

Among the Leaves is worked from one short end to the other, beginning and ending with a band of decorative brioche leaves. I-cords along both edges keep them tidy and invisibly carry the color that is not in use. In the body of the scarf, narrow bands of two-color brioche alternate with solid garter-stitch sections. This keeps the knitting interesting while creating a delightfully warm and squishy fabric.

Both the width and length can be customized to arrive at your favorite dimensions.

Instructions are fully written, with links to helpful video tutorials.
