Ivy is a two-tone brioche shawl that traces the silhouette of a single, elongated leaf. The design creates a beautiful contrast between the two halves with intarsia technique: one side is a soft neutral, the other a vibrant coral.
The two-skein shawl is a minimalist piece in its shape but rich in texture, thanks to brioche rib. This is a great project for knitters who love symmetrical shawls and the simple rhythmic flow of brioche.
