The Moss Agate Shawl is a symmetrical triangular shawl worked from the center-top down using a combination of one-color brioche stitch, garter stitch, and an original two-color brioche stitch pattern. This pattern can be easily customized to achieve a desired size.

The dendritic patterns and colors suggested the beauty of moss agates. Moss agate stones are clear or milky stones with inclusions forming dendritic patterns that resemble organic growth.

I really hope you enjoy the pattern!

Pattern is provided in written and chart form. Also provided are links to video demonstrations for the cast-on and the brioche decrease stitches.
