Susurrous: a soft rustling sound, like the gentle falling of the seeds and leaves from the trees in autumn

Inspired by all things autumnal, this crescent shaped shawl is designed to include a mixture of textures for plenty of interesting knitting. The main body of the shawl is worked in an easy brioche repeat followed by a more challenging twisted stitch, lace and bobble section and finished off with a few relaxing rows of garter stitch and a picot bind-off.
