Notes

I used US size 9 for the i-cord edging, 8 for all scarf sections EXCEPT the brioche. I actually used a size 6 on the brioche - it’s so stretchy that those sections were considerably wider unless I went down a needle size. Turns out, US 6 was the one to make all sections more or less even in width!

For any of the sock yarns I used, I marled them with another.
