Beloved
Worked from the bottom up, outside in, this shawl marries lace with texture in the best kind of way. Lace hearts are bordered by an airy ruffle, leading the way to squishy brioche finished with simple, slubby dotted colorwork. Each row gets faster and shorter as you go while rhythmic stitch patterns allow for portability. Pattern is suitable for intermediate level knitters comfortable with basic Brioche skills, reading from charts and a smidge of stranded colorwork that takes place on a handful of wrong side rows.
