Introductory offer until my next shawl pattern!**

Would you like to add a new set of skills to your arsenal? Are you curious about brioche knitting, which produces a lofty and soft fabric with lots of texture? Two color-brioche knitting gets a lot of love and I just couldn’t wait to knit my next design.

*BriochePride Shawl is the sibling to my Peacock Pride Shawl because it really needed a cosy companion. I just love this motif!
This Shawl is the perfect every day accessory! When your soul and body needs a little hug, cast on a dream yarn and lose yourself in the meditative act of brioche knitting. The shawl is a reversible and elegant design and the pattern is an engaging knit with a beautiful result that lets your favorite yarn shine. The finished shawl will become a much loved warm and cozy winter wardrobe staple. Dress to impress!*

CONSTRUCTION and NOTES
BriochePride Shawl is a sideways, asymmetrical shawl which begins with just 5 stitches at one tip and grows to its widest point. The pattern is easily adjusted to any size by simply adding or reducing repeat sections. The entire shawl is worked in an easy and meditative back and forth brioche stitch pattern. WS rows are worked with no increases or decreases.
For brioche newbies, BriochePride Shawl could be your first brioche shawl, as the pattern is full of detailed explanations and lots of video links that show all the stitches and helpful hints. The pattern includes both charted instructions and fully written row-by-row instructions, so you can choose which you prefer to work from.
