Brioche Autumn Leaves

If you're a fan of the brioche stitch, you’ll absolutely adore this stunning brioche shawl pattern! The rhythm of the brioche is both soothing and exhilarating, making it a joy to knit. This particular design features a large, captivating center motif of framed leaves, complemented by a delicate edge vine motif. Despite the intricate appearance and the number of rows in the pattern, the stitches involved are minimal and familiar to anyone who has tackled brioche knitting before.

The color palette I selected evokes the beauty of a New England fall afternoon and consists of The Farmer's Daughter's Foxy Lady, Porch Pumpkin, and Hill Country. I used one skein of each color, and you'll find that there is still plenty of yarn left over from each skein once the shawl is complete. You’ll want to choose two contrasting colors to truly make this pattern pop, allowing the leafy motifs to stand out beautifully!

For an exquisite drape, I recommend using fingering weight yarns, but feel free to experiment with sport weight or DK yarn as well for a different look and feel. The pattern includes detailed row-by-row written instructions as well as easy-to-follow charts, catering to both visual and textual learners. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting out with brioche, this pattern offers a sense of accomplishment and delight. Dive into this creative project and bring a touch of autumn charm to your wardrobe!
