Introductory Sale! The Tree Line Shawl is 20% off through end of day Sunday, 10 November MST.

The Tree Line Shawl is a crescent-shaped shawl worked from the center-top down using a combination of two-color brioche rib stitch and an original two-color brioche stitch pattern. This pattern can be easily customized to achieve a desired size.

The stitch pattern used in this shawl is a variation of my dendritic stitch pattern. This variation is reminiscent of small trees, and the pattern was designed and named for the phenomenon of trees disappearing at high elevations.

I really hope you enjoy the pattern!

Pattern is provided in written and chart form. Also provided are links to video demonstrations for the cast-on and the brioche decrease stitches.

Finished Size:
Wingspan: 75 in/188 cm
Center Depth: 25 in/64 cm

This pattern can be easily customized to achieve a desired size.

Gauge
20 sts and 26 rows = 4 in/10 cm in the two-color brioche pattern, after blocking.
Gauge is not critical for this shawl but may affect yardage needed to complete the shawl.

Recommended Materials
___________________________

Yarn
Any fingering weight yarn in two colors, approximately 800 yards/730 per color.

Sample was knit using Salty Blonde Fine Fibers Dulce Fingering 438 yards/401 meters/100 g (100% Superwash Merino) in the Powerfood colorway for the light color and The Blue Brick Killarney Sock Wooly Mammoth 800 yards/730 meters (80/20 Superwash Merino/Nylon) in the Evergreen colorway for the dark color. However, any fingering weight yarn that blocks well should work well for this pattern.

Needles
US Size 3/3.25 mm or size needed to obtain gauge or for a fabric you love. A circular needle format is required for working two-color brioche.
