North Fork is a simple brioche triangle, and also an exercise in making ridiculously specific references to bodies of water in your shawl titles. It’s refreshingly simple—a dozen lines of instruction set it up, and then the body of the shawl comes down to a brief repeat.

It requires minimal materials: a circular needle used to knit flat, long enough to accommodate your desired shawl-size, a skein or two of your preferred yarn, and a tapestry needle to weave in the ends.

(It’s also directly related to the Little Laramie kerchief; it’s a brioche triangle approached in a different way. The project design/enjoyability has come a long way on this one, I think, if I can self-assess accurately.)

Gauge:
There is no gauge.
The sample has a gauge of about 12 sts and 20 rows over 4”/10cm, in brioche rib.

Measurements/Sizes:
This shawl is totally customizable: knit it small for a kerchief, or larger for a shawl, or, you know, really big for a really big shawl. The sample shown is about 38”/97cm across the longest side, and took nearly 200 yards of Silk Garden Sock. It’s probably on the smaller side of practicality.

Materials:
1-2 skeins of Noro Silk Garden Sock, or any yarn appropriate for a shawl
1 48”/120cm circular needle in US5/3.75mm, or size needed for gauge
Tapestry needle
