Brioche stitch is known for giving a cosy fabric, but for this design Anniken Allis has created something beautifully ethereal by using a fluffy laceweight yarn. The brioche pattern is worked in two harmonious blue shades of Debbie Bliss’s Angel yarn, a blend of mohair and silk in 16 modern shades. The shawl has an asymmetrical, curving shape that wraps nicely around the neck, with a series of points around the lower edge - use a stretchy cast-off method to enable you to pin it out fully when blocking.
