Fade Into You Shawl
This shawl combines the timeless textures of garter stitch and brioche to highlight the beautiful fade sets that a made by Sweet Georgia Yarns. Brioche can be very intimidating to knitters who are new to this skill, but the short sections of brioche and the rest sections of garter stitch make this the perfect project to practice your skills on! Also, this project is a perfect way to use up some of your fingering weight scrapes held double if you don’t want to use a fade set!
Also if you are completely new to brioche knitting you can check out my free written and video instructions on how to knit a brioche swatch: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/brioche-square

Construction Notes
This shawl is designed to be knit from the bottom up because I always lose steam near the end of shawls once the rows start getting long, but being able to attack the long rows with the energy and excitement of casting on a new project makes this shawl fly off the needles!
