This shawl works up gorgeously in either Sport or DK weight yarn and using 3 to 4 colors for a deliciously squishy shawl to wrap up in! I always chat with my brioche students about how, as tactile knitters, we love to squish things! Nothing is more plump for squishing and wrapping up in then brioche and garter! * **SIZES** 3 Color Sport -Wingspan -75”/190.5 cm; Center Depth - 22”/56 cm (4 Color DK - Wingspan -86”/218.5 cm; Center Depth - 24”/61 cm) **YARN:** Sport Weight (3 colors) - Hedgehog Fibres Sporty Singles A - 285 m/95 g; 1 skein Ferrum B - 300 m/100 g; 1 skein DRK C - 270 m/90 g; 1 skein Copper Penny DK Weight (4 colors) - Hedgehog Fibres Alpaca DK A - 225 m/100 g; 1-2 skeins (see note) Parklife B - 340 m/150 g; 2 skeins UFO C - 160 m/70 g; 1 skein Piggy Bank D - 225 m/100 g; 1 skein Sorbet (Note: I used 10-15% less yardage than what is listed for my samples. We all knit very differently and you may have different results. Color A is the one I have recieved feedback on of possibly running low. If this is a concern for you, I recommend buying an extra skein and checking both your Garter and Brioche gauges after blocking.) **NEEDLES** US 5 (7)/3.75 (4.5) mm - 32”/80 cm circular recommended **NOTIONS** Stitch marker Locking stitch marker Tapestry Needle **GAUGE** 20 (18) sts & 44 (40) rows = 4”/10 cm *Measured over garter stitch, after blocking*; 19.5 (20) sts & 28 (22) rows = 4”/10 cm *Measured over garter stitch, after blocking* **TECHNIQUES TO INDULGE IN** Knitting Purling Increasing Decreasing Two-color Brioche Brioche Increases and Decreases Sliding stitches Sideways shawl shaping [1]: http://eepurl.com/diPxsr
