Fall Sunset is a triangular shawl knit with two colors in stockinette and brioche. This mindless knit was inspired by the colorways used and the beginning of cool fall evenings sitting by an outside fire.

The evenings still slow and taking in the time outdoors in nature before we hibernate for the cold winter months. This is a nice beginner project if new to the brioche stitch.
