Madame Chique is a Brioche- Reverse Stockinette combo shawl. It is knitted flat from the narrow top down where it widens considerably.
If you wish to knit this pattern please make sure to master the two color brioche technique.
Measurements:
The shawl is huge. If it’s too big, you can stop whenever you want (there are exit points) and go straight for the finishing part.
From base point to either corner: 95 cm/ 37.5’’.
From base point to outer hem: 72 cm/ 28 ‘’.
Yarn :
all yarns are of fingering weight yarn- 355 m /100g.
Dark color (DC) yarn- 290 g
Light color(LC) yarn- should be in contrast to DC. I have worked with 4 different colors to create a fading effect, however, you can use as many colors as you like. The total amount of LC yarn is 250 g.
Gauge for 10X10 / 4’’x4’’:
Two Color Brioche & Reverse Stockinette combo:
18 sts and 22 rows after blocking.
With 3 mm/ US 2.5 circular needles or any size to maintain gauge.
The shawl should be worked with needles 0.50 mm below normal size for this yarn weight- as in any brioche project.
During the knit there will be gauge differences between the reverse stockinette parts and brioche parts- they balance out after blocking.
Materials:
Gauge size circular needles at least 91 cm/ 36’’ long.
10 Stitch markers for pattern changes, 34 optional for brioche pattern repeat.
Waste yarn to put sts on hold.
A larger gauge needle-0.5 mm above gauge size to for Icelandic bind off- can be DPN/ straight/ circular.
Tapestry needle to weave in the ends.
Techniques:
- Two Color Brioche worked flat- it is necessary to master this before attempting the pattern.
- Icelandic bind of- video tutorial linked in pattern.
- Italian bind off- video tutorial linked in pattern.
