Easy brioche streams fluidly over your stitches as the two colors cascade into a cheerful asymmetrical shawl in Color Cascade. Use highly contrasting colors for an epic surge as bold as Niagara Falls or low contrasting colors for a calm pastoral environment found at bottom of gentle falls. Choose your flow – use the simple brioche pattern throughout or end with the optional decorative edge.
The easy (not beginner) tech edited and test knit pattern is fully written and charted. Check out the Knit Eco Chic blog for how-to videos for the setup and 3 stitch tutorials.
