Branches and leaves shawl
Despite its lengthy name, the two-colour syncopated brioche shawl pattern is not as challenging as it sounds! This beautifully intricate pattern features only the basic brioche stitches, along with two different types of brioche increases and three various brioche decreases, all explained in detail within the notes section.
Beginning with a small number of stitches, this shawl gracefully increases along one edge, creating a stunning triangle shape that's perfect for draping. The pattern is thoughtfully crafted using two full skeins of fingering weight yarn in contrasting colours, requiring approximately 400 meters of each colour. However, feel free to adjust the size to suit your personal gauge, yarn weight, and available amounts of yarn. This makes it an excellent choice for using up leftovers or experimenting with different colour combinations.
The pattern provides both clear written instructions and visual charts, making it accessible for knitters of all skill levels. It has been meticulously tech-edited and test-knit to ensure accuracy and ease of understanding. In the sample pictured, the designer used Circus Tonic Handmade Jubilee Sock yarn (75% wool, 25% nylon, 424m/100g) alongside Adagio Milla Alpaca 4ply (100% Alpaca, 160m/50g). However, these yarns can easily be substituted with any two yarns of similar weight, expanding your creative options.
