A Brioche journey. I treated myself to these delightful colors just before the winter break and I cast them on without much of a plan - allowing the sheer joy of colors and squishy stitches to guide me. I hope you feel just as happy as you knit one up for yourself! This shawl is knit from the top down using one and two color brioche and ending with a wide border of double brioche. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** Wingspan: 80”/203 cm Center Depth: 30”/76 cm **YARN REQUIREMENTS** *These are just approximations.
