This lovely shawl is a great project for beginning brioche knitters. Worked from the top down, the pattern begins with a Garter Tab Cast On and proceeds into the brioche fabric, KYOK increases being worked at each end on the right side rows.

There is some simple short-rowing through the body of the shawl, a bit of Bird’s Eye lace and the piece culminates with a Picot Bind Off.

Video tutorials guide you through each step of the process.
