This fun crescent-shaped shawlette was originally designed for Fuzzy Goat, and their Fuzzy Fix subscription box #2! The boxes carried a Southern theme, and only used yarn dyers in the South! This shawl uses one skein of Copper Corgi Savannah Sock yarn, in Fuzzy Goat’s custom color way, Westjack Kid. The variegated colors are so gorgeous, and really inspired the name of my shawl. I wanted to create a pattern that would really showcase the pooling and colors in this special skein, using simple textures like garter stitch, one-color brioche, and eyelet stockinette. The textural stripes together create different densities and beautiful waves in the fabric! So this is a great project for that very special skein in your stash! Just keep in mind that the pattern uses 460 yards / 421 meters of fingering weight yarn, so if the skein you want to use is less than that, I recommend omitting ONE repeat of the stripes, but still ending with the last Brioche stripe. I have included instructions to customize your shawl in the pattern!
This is how I like to style mine!! It’s perfect to add color and texture to your outfit any time of year!! You could even wrap it around your shoulders on a cool summer evening, or wrap it tightly around your neck on a chilly winter day.
Are you still new to brioche knitting, or haven’t tried it before? This is a great first project!! One-color brioche is a wonderful way to get used to the movements with brioche stitches, and is broken up with breezy eyelet stockinette to give your brain a break.
I hope you enjoy my newest pattern, and happy brioche-ing!! xx
