Cosmic Dandy is a wide semi-circular shawl knit with merino singles and delicate mohair-silk for a light and soft fabric.
This shawl is all about stripes : horizontal stripes, vertical stripes and striped brioche allow all three colours to shine and mohair to bloom !

Cosmic Dandy est un large châle semi-circulaire léger et fluide. Le mohair et les deux couleurs de Merino Singles ont tout loisir de s’épanouir entre les rayures horizontales, les rayures verticales et les côtes anglaises (brioche) rayées !

Le modèle est disponible en anglais et en français.

The pattern offers two options for a wider vertical stripe section or a wider brioche section, and includes detail pictures and links to video tutorials to help brioche first timers !

Le modèle propose deux options : une plus large bande de rayures verticales ou une plus large bande de côtes anglaises. Il contient des photos de détails et des liens vers des vidéos d’aide, notamment pour tricoter la “brioche”.
