Meet Spring Fling – a large, luscious crescent shawl bursting with colour and texture!

Thanks to her clever central shaping, she’ll grow without the usual crescent shawl “hump.” Instead, you’ll have a perfectly balanced piece with a gently upward-curving top edge that wraps you up in squishy brioche goodness.

Whether you’re new to brioche or a seasoned pro, Spring Fling is a joy to knit, she’s pretty addictive!

Her simple brioche techniques make her a fantastic project for adventurous beginners.

Worked top-down, she features sweet eyelets, a graceful scalloped garter border, and tidy i-cord edging down the sides and along the bind-off for a polished finish.

You’ll love how the main colour dances with the two accent shades as you knit, creating a stunning, multi-dimensional piece that’s light and deliciously drapey yet large enough to keep you cosy.

Throw her over your shoulders for a pop of personality, or bundle her around your neck for extra warmth – either way, Spring Fling will quickly be your go-to “feel-good” layer.
