Brioche Arrows
Brioche Arrows Shawl Knitting Pattern is a beautifully designed half-circle shawl that showcases the elegant technique of brioche stitch. This stunning accessory is crafted using 3 skeins of fingering weight yarn, with a bit leftover for an exquisite contrasting color edging. Perfect for both seasoned knitters and adventurous beginners, this pattern will guide you through creating a luxurious and cozy shawl that’s ideal for layering during cooler months.
YARN: For this project, we recommend using Hedgehog Fibres “Skinny Singles” yarn with a yardage of 400.0 yards (366.0 m) per 100g skein, or Madelinetosh, “Tosh Merino Light” with 420.0 yards (384.0 m) per 100g skein. You will need 3 skeins of your main color and a small amount of contrasting color for the eye-catching edging.
Brioche Arrows Color Usage: In the sample, the following colors were used:
- C1: Pine (Hedgehog Fibres, “Skinny Singles”)
- C2: Skinny Dip (Hedgehog Fibres, “Skinny Singles”)
- C3: Hunter (Hedgehog Fibres, “Skinny Singles”)

NEEDLES & NOTIONS: Gather your crafting supplies! You will need US6/4mm circular knitting needles (80cm or longer) to accommodate the larger stitches in this pattern. Additionally, prepare 10 stitch markers and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and finishing touches.
GAUGE: Achieve the perfect fit by knitting to a gauge of 20 stitches = 10cm in brioche stitch after wet blocking. This will ensure your shawl turns out beautifully and drapes wonderfully.
SIZE: This versatile design is offered in one size, with a wingspan of approximately 178cm (70 inches) and a center depth of 61cm (24 inches). It’s the perfect dimension for creating an eye-catching statement piece to add to any outfit.
