Notes

I am so in love with this piece! Madelinetosh really sings in this Brioche design, the drape is exquisite! My photos just don’t do this shawl justice, it’s so hard to capture the three dimensional quality of the shape and design of the interlocking arrows.

Update on Gauge/Yardage:

I followed the pattern exactly using 4.0mm, my gauge was a teeny tiny bit loose but brioche can be like that. I rounded up on the yardage I used on my pattern page to make purchasing easier but have since made it more precise.

I used a tiny bit more yardage than the pattern calls for because the Madelinetosh Sock (dark blue) is a bit heavier than Tosh Merino Light (and it’s sold in less yardage) so I had to get a second skein to basically do the last 2 rows. Gotta love that. lol.

I opted to make this a 2-colour version by using Tosh Merino Light in Aura for both the LC and the Border colour (C). You don’t quite need a full skein for the border, but almost!
