Moss Agate Shawl

The Moss Agate Shawl is a symmetrical triangular shawl worked from the center-top down using a combination of one-color brioche stitch, garter stitch, and an original two-color brioche stitch pattern. This pattern can be easily customized to achieve a desired size. The dendritic patterns and colors suggested the beauty of moss agates. Moss agate stones are clear or milky stones with inclusions forming dendritic patterns that resemble organic growth. 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: 65 in/165 cm Center Depth: 33 in/84 cm This pattern can be easily customized to achieve a desired size. **Gauge** 20 sts and 20 rows = 4 in/10 cm in the two-color brioche pattern, after blocking.
