Follow the Signs Brioche Shawl
This is another pattern combining brioche knitting and two-color garter stitch. I called it “Follow the Signs” because the triangles look like they are pointing the way to go :)
Brioche is used for the main body, while the garter stitch creates the motif along the edge of the shawl. The shawl is worked sideways, with the increases made first on the right edge of the shawl (on RS) and then between the border with triangle areas and the body of the shawl. I used a solid light color yarn and a self-striping yarn with long color changes for the 2nd color. However, you can use any combination of yarn colors (self-striping, hand-dyed, solid) for different visual effects.
Due to the thickness of brioche stitch, this is quite a substantial shawl, nice for cooler weather. You could almost wear it like a scarf!
