Itu
Introducing the **Itu Shawl**, a stunning and versatile triangular reversible shawl crafted in beautiful two-color brioche knitting. This exquisite shawl is designed to be worked from one corner, expanding gracefully to the long edge on the opposite side. The unique i-cord edge is ingeniously worked simultaneously with the shawl, ensuring a polished finish without the need for additional finishing work. Plus, the size of the Itu Shawl is easily adjustable, making it a perfect project for knitters of all skill levels.
Yarn Recommendations:
For this project, we recommend using **SweetGeorgia Yarns Tough Love Sock** (389 m/425 yd per 115 g), beautifully showcased in the rich green shade of **Basil**. We also suggest pairing this with **Lorna's Laces Solemate** (389 m/425 yd per 100 g) in the delicate hue of **Princess Donna**, a lovely pale pink. This combination creates a stunning visual contrast that highlights the intricate two-color brioche stitch.

For the model shawl, color A is represented by the vibrant green, while color B is illustrated in a soft light pink/mint green. Depending on the size you choose, the yardage requirements are as follows:
- Size S: 389 m/425 yd or 100 g of color A, and 350 m/383 yd or 90 g of color B.
