This is a PDF knitting pattern.
This top down shawl begins with an asymmetrical increase in two-color brioche. As the shawl grows, more increases are added resulting in an explosive shape. The border features horizontal stripes and an I-cord bind off. Experiment with colorful stripes and create your own Briochexplosion!
