This wonderfully squishy top-down triangular shawl is an absolute treat! Oodles of scrumptious brioche adorns the main body of this multi-sized shawl. The body of this shawl is an easy-to-remember 2-row brioche motif that allows you to go patternless before you know it! Then, depending on your style, you have the option to add a little lace border to give it a little flare.

My sample uses a self-striping shawl yarn for the main body. If you don’t have self-striping shawl yarn available to you, the same effect could be created using leftovers or mini skeins, joined together with a Russian Join.

Worked flat, this shawl pattern contains written directions and charts. A link to a handy-dandy progress tracker is included to help you with your row and stitch counts should you need it.

The body of the shawl shines well with self-striping, solid, semi-solid, lightly variegated, or speckled yarns. The Applied Lace Bind-off lends well to more solid or semi-solid. Picking an appropriate yarn for this project will ensure the yarn and the pattern are not in competition with one another, rather, they’re working together to create something magical.
