Description
Pink Couture is a gorgeous graphic brioche shawl pattern from Knit Graffiti Designs. This amazing design uses 3 colours, is fully reversible and fun to wear.
This listing is for a hard copy pattern, which also contains a download code for your Ravelry library. The pattern contains both charted and written instructions.
Skill level: Intermediate brioche skills are recommended as techniques include: brioche knit (brk), brioche purl (brp), brioche increases and decreases, bottom-up triangle shawl shaping, brioche tab cast on, applied border.
Louise’s notes:
- The applied border is knitted with a second set of circular needles, which is a bit fiddly at the start.
- I put an end cap on the non-working end of the main body needle and used a spare 4mm tip to be able to work the stitches for the applied border.
- I occasionally knitted the border onto the needle holding the body of the shawl (I blame the wine), but easily transferred to the shorter needle to continue.
