Foliage Shawl is a brioche knitting pattern worked in brioche rib stitch. The pattern is composed of foliage panels with simple brioche rib in between.

Yarn:
Rockshelter Sock by Meadowcroft Dyeworks
Main color: 044 Raku Glaze – 1,5 skeins
Contrast color: 225 Dark Garnet – 1,5 skeins

The shawl is worked starting with just 17 stitches, then every other row more stitches are cast-on and the shawl grows bigger, but in the meantime the number of brioche rib stitches is decreasing, so the shawl is getting wider but at the end you have only 5 stitches to knit together instead of an usual bind-off.
You can decide the size of the shawl by working only once or repeating 2-3 times rows 197-228.
