Wrap yourself in timeless elegance with the Hedgerow Scarf—a cozy and sophisticated accessory inspired by the classic beauty of English garden paths. This scarf features brioche rib, a stitch whose texture mimics the appearance of tree bark, with delicate purl valleys that hint at the layers beneath, like the hidden life within the hedgerows. A striking brioche diamond motif brings a modern twist to a traditional moss stitch filled cable, blending heritage and innovation into a single, wearable work of art. Whether you’re heading out for a brisk morning walk or adding a statement piece to your outfit, the Hedgerow Scarf offers warmth, texture, and a touch of botanical charm. Designed to be both luxurious and practical, it’s the perfect project—and gift—for knitters and nature lovers alike. Inspired by nature. Rooted in tradition. Made to be worn.

This design is knit in brioche with shaping being done with brioche increases and decreases, and diamond motifs created with cables. Video tutorials are linked in the pattern for all of these techniques. Instructions are provided in both written and charted form.
