Explore color with stripes and chevrons! Loro is a lightweight, drapey rectangular wrap knit on the bias, transitioning from garter stitch stripes to dimensional two-color brioche chevrons. I love garter stitch and brioche together in one accessory: they create almost the same amount of squish! This shawl pattern is named after my favorite Pinback song, Loro. It is a magical, flowing melody, full of waves of notes, rhythms, and vocals.
This is a fabulous pattern if you are wanting to just dip your toes into brioche knitting! With mostly garter stitch, lots of stripes and a little bit of brioche, this wrap is sure to keep you entertained!!
This was a very fun collaboration with Nicole of Hue Loco yarns!! She creates these beautiful little 50 gram sets of yarns, and I fell in love with her Bird Watching set. After receiving her yarns, it took a little while for them to tell me what they wanted to be! Then I thought of this fun idea of creating brioche chevron stripes with garter stitch in between, where the garter blends in with the brioche. I also just LOVE three color garter stitch stripes. I cast this on and seriously could not put it down….which explains the length!! This beauty is 113 inches / 287 cm long!!! [insert big eyes emoji] But it is very narrow for a wrap, so it’s more like a scarf that can be easily wrapped around the neck multiple times. We all need a little extra drama in our life sometimes, right?? Maybe just in our knitwear. 🙂
Here is a photo showing my favorite way to style this wrap, with all the colors and textures showing. I love to layer it in a way where all sections of colors can be showcased!!
I hope you enjoy, and please let me know if you have any questions!! xx Lesley.
