Introducing my newest brioche shawl pattern, Indigo Wings! You can find this pattern on Ravelry and knitgraffiti.com, and please enjoy a 15% discount using coupon code WINGS through Sunday, April 22, 2018 at midnight CT!
Indigo Wings is a lightweight half-ellipse shawl with a feather-like lace fanning out to a beautifully simple texture, all knit using the two-color brioche stitch.
Brooklyn Tweed Vale yarn is as light as a feather, and I was inspired to create a wing-like shawl with a stitch pattern resembling feathers. The texture created by the moss brioche stitch in the center of the shawl is incredible, and extremely relaxing to knit. Use 2 contrasting colors for a statement shawl, or 2 colors of similar shades for a subtle shawl perfect for the transition to warmer weather.
Indigo Wings is a half-ellipse shawl, knit from the top of the neck down to the border. The feather-like brioche lace stitches adorn the edges of the shawl, and fan out as the shawl grows. All of the shawl shaping is created within the two-color brioche moss stitch. 4 stitches are increased every Main Side, Main Color row within the moss stitch, and continue to do so through the border. This textural brioche stitch is so relaxing to knit. I call it the “Garter Stitch” of two-color brioche, because you are simply “brk-ing” all stitches. I wear this shawl with the top edge at the base of my neck, the small half-ellipse shape fits so perfectly there, and the rest of the shawl around my shoulders and arms.
I hope you enjoy my newest brioche shawl pattern, and happy knitting!! xx
