Ocotillo
If you have ever driven through the Arizona Desert you have probably seen the Ocotillo shrub. It is beautiful with its long tall branches and bright red flowers. The uniqueness of the Ocotillo plant was the inspiration for this beautiful brioche shawl. The brioche motifs grow up the neck edge and the shawl ends with a flower-like brioche edge. This shawl looks more complicated than it is. With simple repeats and basic brioche increases this is a stunning example of the fun of Brioche.
