  • This is a PDF knitting pattern

    This top-down shawl is knit in two-color brioche stitch. The asymmetrical shape grows with increases at the edges and center. The columns swerve and shift direction towards the end of the shawl leading to a folded picot hem.

    Blend your colors together using four colors for the main foreground color and four other colors for the contrasting background.

  • Finished Measurements
    84” / 213cm wingspan length, 28” / 71cm along center spine. Measurements taken after blocking.

    Yarn
    Sport or Fingering weight
    The fluffy suri alpaca on the background is a bit thicker than fingering weight, but you can mix the weights. The suri alpaca forms a super frothy soft background to the smooth merino wool foreground columns.

    Yardage
    MC - 750yds / 686m
    CC - 575yds / 526m
    Yardage may vary depending on gauge so I recommend having a bit of extra yarn just in case. 

    Needles
    40” US 5 / 3.75mm circular

    Notions: 
    22 stitch markers, tapestry needle

    Gauge
    18 sts & 22 rows = 4” / 10cm in two-color brioche stitch

    Green Version
    You can change colors whenever you like. For a more gradual color transition, don’t change the MC & CC at the exact same time. You can stagger your color changes. For example, if you change your CC, wait 5-10 rows until your change your MC for a nice overlapping color effect. These are the approximate color change locations for the green sample…
