You can make a brioche scarf manly or girly, depending on what yarn you choose.
You can try some unexpected combinations: a laceweight mohair/silk blend like Rowan’s Kidsilk Haze would look gorgeous on a large gauge (a larger needle than normal).
This pattern calls for laceweight or sock-weight with the yarn held double.
I find that when you include thinner yarns with the option of doubling them, you have many more possibilities. You can also use one strand of sport-weight yarn.
At right you can see Malabrigo Lace held double in a two-color brioche scarf for a man.
