Bright Winter

Bright Winter is a beautifully crafted knitting pattern that explores the art of slipped stitches, perfect for those looking to create a stunning accessory. This semi-circular shawl boasts an extended wingspan, allowing you to wrap yourself in luxurious comfort and warmth. When wrapped around your shoulders, the two-color brioche technique adds extra insulation with its lush, inviting texture. The intricate lace border finishes the shawl beautifully, offering the option to block it into an elegant scalloped edge or maintain its circular shape—giving you versatility in your creation.

The Bright Winter pattern features short repeats for both stitches and rows, making it a delightful and relaxing knitting project that allows you to enjoy the process while creating an array of captivating textures. The pattern includes both detailed written instructions and easy-to-follow charts, ensuring that knitters of all skill levels can enjoy the journey. Techniques such as I-cord edging, bind-off, and grafting are explained thoroughly, and you’ll find helpful links to video tutorials specifically for the Brioche sections. For those who find Scandinavian or Fair Isle knitting challenging, slipped stitches present a fantastic alternative. This color work technique requires only one strand of yarn per color at a time, simplifying the knitting experience.

When it comes to yarn choices, Bright Winter recommends using Richmore 1/100, a high-quality 100% wool yarn that offers 120m per 40g skein. Alternatively, Cascade Fingering worked with two strands or Cascade Sport yarn provides a suitable substitute, giving you flexibility for your project. Embrace the art of knitting and craft a unique shawl that will keep you warm throughout the winter months with the Bright Winter pattern—your ultimate guide to creating a cozy, stylish accessory.
