Entwined Queen's Shawl Pattern
The Entwined Queen’s Shawl is a symmetrical triangular shawl worked from the center-top down using two-color brioche stitch. The gorgeous repeating pattern is created using left and right brioche cable stitches. This pattern can be easily customized to achieve a desired size.
Between the entwining cables and the bold red and black colors, evocative of ancient power and royalty, this shawl became the Entwined Queen’s Shawl. I really hope you enjoy it!
