Soulskin

This luxurious shawl is designed to envelop you in comfort, much like a warm hug whenever you need it. The knitting journey begins by casting on the first stitches for the main rectangular section. As you progress, strategic increases create beautiful triangles along each side, granting the shawl its elegant trapeze shape. In the main part of the shawl, a delightful pattern emerges from a mix of increasing and decreasing stitches, artfully running diagonally due to the carefully placed increases and decreases.

For this stunning shawl, you will need 4 skeins of LuxLove by Mme Benoir—2 skeins of each color. This luxurious yarn, which features a splendid blend of 70% Alpaca, 20% Silk, and 10% Cashmere, is available in a length of 400 meters (437 yards) per 100 grams. Make sure to use a fingering weight yarn that achieves the required gauge for the best results. The sample shawl was skillfully knitted using the sophisticated colors of Smoke (Main Color) and Achtsamkeit (Contrast Color).

To complete this project, you will also require a tapestry needle and 7 stitch markers to help manage your work efficiently. Before you dive in, please ensure you are familiar with the basic principles of brioche knitting, as well as the ability to read a chart! This pattern not only adds a unique flair to your knitting repertoire but also offers a wonderful opportunity to practice your skills. Whether you are knitting for yourself or as a thoughtful gift, this shawl promises to be a cherished addition to any wardrobe.
