This simple brioche shawl starts with a long-tail cast on, creating a v-neck shaping while otherwise following a traditional top-down shawl shape. “It was inspired by a customer looking to knit a shawl to wear around her neck, but every sample we tried on her came up too close to her throat,” says Andie. “This pattern is for her, and for all the others out there who would like a little breathing room in their shawls.”
