Let defined infinite continued fraction of the form \[ \frac{1}{0\, +}\; \frac{2}{b\, +}\; \frac{\varepsilon_1}{a_1 \,+}\; \frac{\varepsilon_2}{a_2 \, +}\; {\cdots}\; \frac{\varepsilon_n}{a_n \, +}\; {\cdots} \] where \(b\) is an odd integer, \(a_1,a_2,\dots\, \) are even positive integers, and \(\varepsilon_1,\varepsilon_2,\dots \in \{\pm 1\}\). This continued fraction is called an \(\mathcal{F}_{1,2}\)-continued fraction. They therefore satisfy several properties analogous to those of the regular continued fraction. These properties are summarized in the paper. The \(\mathcal{F}_{1,2}\)-continued fraction arises from a subgraph (denoted as \(\mathcal{F}_{1,2}\)) of the Farey graph. A geometric interpretation of the partial quotients and formulated an algorithm to find \(\mathcal{F}_{1,2}\)-continued fraction expansion of a number given. The finite \(\mathcal{F}_{1,2}\)-continued fractions investigated too and establishes a bijective correspondence between them and the vertices of \(\mathcal{F}_{1,2}\). Each finite \(\mathcal{F}_{1,2}\)-continued fraction is shown to correspond naturally to a path in \(\mathcal{F}_{1,2}\) from \(\infty\) to its value. The bibliography contains 8 items.
