This rectangular shawl is worked on the bias in a three-color fade in one- and two-color brioche stitch, broken up by contrasting stripes in garter stitch.
Go for a timeless combination of three shades of gray and a color pop of your choice, or live out all your speckled color dreams to create your dream fade and combine them with a semi-solid contrast color.
The shawl is knit at a loose gauge to create an airy fabric with lots of drape that still shows the beautiful ribbed brioche texture.
The size of the shawl can easily be customized to fit your preferences or gauge (when working with a different yarn weight and/or needle size) – and also depends a lot on blocking!
