Tourlaville Shawl

This stunning shawl pattern combines two different knitting techniques to create a unique accessory you'll love. The middle section features a delightful 1-row stockinette stitch, while the sides are crafted using the looser, textured brioche stitch. This slight difference in tension gives the shawl a lovely gentle curve, making it not only a functional piece of knitwear but also a stylish statement. For my first shawl, I utilized the same long-gradient yarn but began with different ends to achieve a varied look. My second shawl also incorporates the same long-gradient yarn, but this time paired beautifully with a solid black for added contrast. This versatile pattern works brilliantly with two different long-gradient yarns or simply two solid colors—just take a look at some of the lovely examples among the completed projects for inspiration!

This project is perfect for you if:

• you have never knitted brioche stitch before, but you're eager to learn this fun technique
• you have experience knitting brioche and absolutely love the unique texture it creates
• you appreciate simple yet beautiful designs that make a statement
• you enjoy experimenting with colors and creating visually striking combinations
• you’re unsure what to do with that beautiful gradient yarn sitting in your stash

Not only does this shawl pattern offer an opportunity to learn and practice brioche stitching, but it also allows for creativity and self-expression through color choices. Whether you're an experienced knitter or someone just starting their journey into the world of knitting, this shawl will provide you with a satisfying project that results in a beautiful and functional piece you can wear confidently.
