Brioche shawl

Brioche Shawl is a stunning triangle shawl that creatively combines two different brioche stitch techniques with elegant cables. This unique knit design is worked flat, allowing you to showcase your skills while producing a beautiful and cozy accessory. As you progress, you will increase the stitch count by 4 stitches every other row, enabling the shawl to grow in size while creating a lovely drape.

SIZE (Adjustable) - This versatile shawl boasts a generous wingspan of 66” (168 cm) and a length of 26” (66 cm), with a bottom edge measuring an impressive 88” (224 cm). The adjustable sizing means you can create a custom fit that perfectly suits your style.

MATERIALS - To craft this gorgeous shawl, you will need DK weight yarn. Specifically, you will require 3 skeins of Cashmere Merino Bloom by Purl Soho in Color #1593 Vintage Jade, Heather (199 meters / 218 yards per 100g). In total, gather approximately 420 meters (460 yards) of this luxurious yarn and about 210 grams to complete your project.

Needle Size - For this pattern, we recommend using a 3.75 mm (US 5) needle or a size that meets your gauge. Although the shawl is knitted flat, utilizing a circular needle is advisable due to the increasing number of stitches as you progress.

Gauge - Achieving the correct gauge is essential for a well-fitting shawl. Work to these measurements for the best results: 24 sts × 20 rows = 10 cm in cable stitch, 12 sts × 20 rows = 10 cm in brioche stitch, and 20 sts × 20 rows = 10 cm in garter stitch.

Notions - In addition to your yarn and needles, gather the following essential notions: 2 stitch markers, a cable needle (optional but helpful), and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends and finishing touches.

With its intricate designs and luxurious materials, this Brioche Shawl pattern is a fantastic addition to any knitter's collection. Whether you're looking to make a statement piece for yourself or a thoughtful gift for a loved one, this shawl is sure to impress. Get started on your knitting journey today!
