This ruffling brioche shawl grows from a center point with easy to follow marked increases and is finished with a picot edge. I used 4 colors, a solid speckle (HHF Potluck) for my foreground, a semi solid (HHF Skinny Dip) and complimentary speckle (HHF Fly) for my background, and a bright pop of color for my border (HHF Coral). But color play is the way and the possibilities are endless. The shawl can be worn in many unique ways because of it’s sprouting shape.
