A majestic tree silhouetted against the rising sun evokes the idea of new beginnings and organic growth in this stunning statement piece that you will want to show off all year round. The Braintree Shawl combines the technical engagement of brioche cables and patterning with the relaxation of two-color garter stitch. Whether knit with a background gradient or contrasting solids, this design will make an eye-catching knit that you can be proud to wear at any occasion.

The brioche patterns in this shawl are created using combinations of increases, decreases, cables and multiple brioche. Video tutorials are linked for assistance with new techniques.

Brioche designs are shown in charted form only.
