“TWO STITCH techniques are brought together in this draping shawl,” says Sandra Nesbitt. “First, a narrow band of two-colour brioche is worked; starting off from a point, and ending off at a point with 14 pattern repeats in between. You will need to concentrate, but once you have mastered a few inches you will be on your way.” Some brioche help is available from Sandra’s website: www.thefemininetouchdesigns.co.uk/learn-brioche.html
The main body of the shawl is worked in short-row shaping in garter stitch.
