Brioche, please! is a half cresent shawl in my favorite autumn colours. It´s shape is easy to wear and will keep you warm around the neck. It´s knitted from top down and perfect for leftover skeins, because you will just need 1 full skein of yarn and 3 left over skeins.

GAUGE
20 stitches = 10cm in Brioche st. (after wet blocking)
Adjust needle sizes to obtain correct gauge if necessary!
I admit, I hate (and I mean HATE it) to swatch, but it is so important to check your gauge. Even if you use the same yarn and needle size. We all knit differently, so please make sure to invest some time to find the right needle size for your yarn and project. Even though the gauge is not critical when knitting a shawl (if you knit looser you will end up with a bigger shawl and if you knit tighter you will end up with a smaller shawl), but keep in mind, that it can influence the yardage and size of your finished project.
