Budding Brioche

Budding Brioche is a wonderful top down triangular shaped shawl with lots of squishy garter interspersed with strips of one colour brioche panels and ending with a flowery budding brioche scalloped edge with bobbles to boot!

This pattern makes a great beginners brioche project. There are lots of brioche video tutorials included with this pattern, so you have no excuse not to try the wonderful stitch.

This shawl is knit using the stunningly luscious, unequaled Road to China Light, from The Fibre Company, and they have put some fabulous kits together for this design. Please see yarn details below.
