May the Cimarron Shawl be an opportunity to feel what you need to feel and a canvas for your gratitude, whatever that looks like for you in this season.

NOTES
Design & Construction: The Cimarron Shawl is triangular shawl. It is worked top-down in sections that alternate between garter stitch and brioche. The final section includes a small band of mosaic knitting. Large tassels accent the three points on the shawl’s bottom edge.

Brioche: Written and charted instructions are included for all brioche so you can choose your preferred method of instructions for knitting these sections!

Yarn Selection: If you want your shawl to look like the sample shawl, chose 2 colors and then select one fingering and one laceweight yarn in each of those colors. Alternatively, if you choose 4 different colors, you will end up with a more striped effect throughout your shawl.
