Champagne Problems is a lightweight triangular shawl, knit from the top center out using two highly contrasting colors of fingering weight yarn. The main part of the shawl is knit in 2 color brioche rib, with the final section in 2 color brioche lace. The result is a luscious, fluffy, modern shawl that will become a permanent favorite year-round! Note that the lace section uses 4 stitch increases and decreases – this is not necessarily a project for the first-time briocher.
