Shari Wrap is a generously-sized, squishy and reversible wrap, thanks to the softness of the Malabrigo Mechita yarn and the combination of single-coloured, classic Brioche and Syncopated Brioche stitches. The latter stitch pattern combines the Brioche knit and purl rows, which is also known as the Turkish Brioche. The wrap is worked flat, in one piece, from bottom border to top border.

It’s a perfect project for getting familiar with brioche knitting.
As usual, video tutorials will help you throughout the pattern mastering all special techniques. Enjoy!
