This semi-circular shawl showcases two-color brioche in a syncopated ribbed pattern. Five colors mix together in a staggered striping color sequence to show off the clean lines of the shawl. This design would make a great first brioche shawl project to practice your technique. I combined hand dyed merino and alpaca from La Bien Aimée together with our West Wool Bicycle yarn for a soft drape with crisp stitch definition.
