Need help finding this scarf pattern please.

Hi everyone!

This is my first time posting so hopefully I’m doing this right. I saw a scarf in the store and fell in love with the pattern. I would say I’m a beginner/intermediate with knitting so I don’t know the name of the pattern. I posted a picture for reference. It has tight knit row and a row of a looser knit. Can anyone direct me to a pattern or a name to replicate this? Thank you everyone!

HI, Welcome to KH.
I’m sorry, but I don’t know this particular pattern and haven’t been able to find it in any online searches. It looks like a form of brioche stitch using bulky or super bulky yarn.
This is a Drops pattern which is similar.


None are quite the same as your photo though.
Sorry not to be more helpful, wishing you luck in finding this.

This looks like it was made on a knitting machine. The looser stitch is a tuck stitch. This sets the machine to slip the stitch but with the yarn going over the top of the needle rather than underneath, for one or more passes. Then you work a complete row which catches the stitch and all of the floats of the stitches that were slipped. The stitch is looser as it’s been slipped - you’ll also see the slipped strands being pulled up when the slipped stitch is finally worked.
My eyes find it hard to count but it looks like they tucked every other stitch for 2-3 rows then worked a straight row of working all stitches.
I think you can replicate this in hand knitting by knitting into stitches in previous rows but I’m not sure that you get quite the same appearance and density.
May be worth trying a swatch to see if you like the look?

This pattern is close to your picture except that this one is in rib, ie tuck stitches are knit and alternate are purled. You could work the whole in stocking stitch and at a tighter gauge or heavier yarn and you’d get a good approximation of your original photo! @notknittingknots is right that this is a form of brioche so you could look for patterns with this effect as well. Good luck!

I think the original was in rib but the tuck stitches kind of hide it. Ive seen that pattern before. Probably in my old Mon Tricot books. But those are packed away at the moment.
