Yorisou

Discover the joy of snuggling up with Yorisou, a delightful brioche shawl that encapsulates warmth and comfort. The term "Yorisou" translates to “snuggle up” in Japanese, and this cozy project perfectly embodies that sentiment. Featuring a captivating two-color brioche stitch, this shawl is enhanced with a carefully crafted i-cord edge and bind-off, ensuring a polished and clean finish. Ideal for beginner knitters looking to explore the world of two-color brioche, as well as seasoned crafters seeking a relaxing project, the stitch pattern is straightforward yet engaging.

For this beautiful brioche shawl, we recommend using high-quality yarns such as Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok Worsted, made from 100% wool, or Indigodragonfly Wingenhooven DK, a luxurious blend consisting of 60% superwash merino, 20% yak, and 20% mulberry silk. Selecting a 100% wool yarn like Blue Sky Fibers Woolstok will yield a shawl that boasts a wonderful structure, lending itself to a more defined shape. Alternatively, a yarn blend that includes yarns like yak or alpaca paired with silk, such as Indigodragonfly Wingenhooven, will result in a beautifully drapey shawl that flows elegantly around your shoulders. Both yarn options offer stunning results and will surely make your Yorisou shawl a beloved accessory!

To ensure your project turns out perfectly, keep in mind the gauge: 13 stitches and 23 rows per 4 inches (10 cm) in two-color brioche stitch after blocking. As designed, the pattern utilizes nearly all of Color C; be aware that if your gauge does not match, you may need an additional skein to complete your cozy creation. Embrace the art of knitting with this inviting Yorisou brioche shawl pattern, and wrap yourself in the luxury of handcrafted warmth!
