Let’s play with colors and the endless plasticity of brioche stitch to create a modern, colorful and joyful huge shawl that will be a pleasure to wrap in!
This crescent shaped shawl is entirely worked in two-colors brioche stitch, alternating plain brioche with stripes where increases and decreases, together with alternating colors, create a beautiful design.
A chevron-like final garter section embellishes the bottom edge.
