Easy, cozy hug of a shrug knit entirely in Brioche stitch with a Garter stitch collar. Don’t let the brioche technique scare you - you can do this! It is a two stitch, two row pattern repeated over and over. You’ll get into the brioche rhythm before you know it! The main body piece is a rectangle - no shaping in the pattern stitch. For this design - it’s all about the fabric and how it is folded and seamed.
