Trevose

Introducing Trevose, a stunning top-down semi-circular shawl that beautifully blends the soothing rhythm of garter stitch with the engaging complexity of brioche knitting. This exquisite design is finished with a delicate garter lace border that adds an elegant touch to your handmade masterpiece.

Trevose begins with a unique i-cord cast on, progressing with an integrated i-cord edging that encircles the shawl, and concludes with a tidy i-cord bind off for a polished finish. This thoughtful construction ensures that your shawl looks beautiful from every angle.

Short rows play a crucial role in shaping the triangular sections at the shawl's beginning, with these shapes mirrored in the eye-catching chevron lace border, creating a cohesive and visually appealing design. Trevose is perfect for knitters who enjoy combining technique with style.

While some familiarity with basic brioche stitches will be beneficial, don’t worry if you’re new to brioche; the pattern includes detailed instructions on all the necessary techniques. You will also find links to helpful tutorials covering the i-cord cast on, short rows, and various brioche increases and decreases, making it easy for you to expand your knitting skills as you follow along.

The pattern offers variations for both a two-color and a three-color version of Trevose, allowing you to customize your shawl. To achieve the best visual effect, it’s recommended to choose colors with high contrast.

Important Note: The brioche section of the pattern is provided in written format only. If you’ve purchased a copy of the pattern and require a larger print version for ease of reading, please do not hesitate to reach out, and I will be glad to assist you in providing it.
