Syncopated Brioche Stitch by Barbara G. Walker

Syncopated Brioche Stitch

From the Stitch Description: “The fascinating Syncopated Brioche is a fluffy lace pattern when worked in a fine yarn on large needles, and a soft texture pattern when worked in medium-weight yarn…”

Location of Stitch: Chapter Eight: Patterns Made with Yarn-Over Stitches, page 158 from A Treasury of Knitting Patterns.

Also pointed out by Esther Bozak (and later illustrated by Fuzzy Galore) in her collection of reversible stitches for scarves.
