ABOUT
A brioche shawl to make the most of four skeins of DK weight yarn. This shawl is worked flat from one tip to the other using two colour brioche. The increases and decreases shift during different portions of the shawl to gently shift the parallel brioche lines. First, increases are made along the edge, not in brioche, then increases shift in the other direction within the brioche. Pair off four skeins, with Colours A & B worked in the first half and Colours C & D used for the second half. This shawl is reversible, and all four colours are always visible on both sides!
