Bluegrass Shawl

Welcome to a bold, stashbusting brioche adventure! Bluegrass Shawl blends effortless style with cozy texture, featuring plush two-color brioche knit on the bias for a relaxing, low-stitch-count experience. Let your colors shine, mix and match treasured mini skeins, and watch the magic unfold.

Design Details

Knitting on the bias creates a dynamic, fluid drape, allowing colors to shift beautifully across the fabric. The simple yet striking brioche pattern makes this shawl a soothing, meditative knit. Best of all? No need to weave in ends—just let them become part of the playful fringe!

Not a fan of fringe? Simply weave in your ends for a clean, classic look.

Construction

Bluegrass Shawl begins at one tip and grows lengthwise on the bias, expanding into a generous, reversible wrap. The flexible design lets you knit to your desired length (or until you run out of yarn!). With just one type of increase and decrease, it’s a breeze to master.

Brioche Made Simple

New to brioche? We’ve got you covered! The stitch pattern remains consistent throughout the shawl, making it approachable for adventurous beginners. Plus, our in-depth video class guides you through every stitch. Alongside the 45-minute Learn to Brioche Class, you can knit along with our step-by-step tutorial, working through each row of the brioche repeat together.

Bluegrass is a true stashbuster! Combine your collection of funky sock yarn, scraps, and minis to create a one-of-a-kind color story. Our sample features Hedgehog Fibres Sock Minis in vibrant, variegated hues, but tonal or solid colors will showcase brioche texture beautifully.

A note for beginners: High-contrast color pairings make brioche stitches easier to read while you get the hang of it!
