notes:
This shawl is knit from the center out and top down. To obtain the crescent shape, wet blocking (with wires or lots of pins) is necessary. Alternatively, you may leave your shawl unblocked and allow the top (cast-on edge) to become the “point” in the shawl. (Some folks do not like to wet-block brioche as it does reduce the squish factor a bit.) When looking at the schematic and photos of the sample, please note the light green block is the cast-on edge.

There are a total of 3 colorblocks with 2 sections in each. The first section is always plain brioche with Color A as the foreground and the contrast color as the background. The second section will contain syncopated brioche on half the row, which will alternate sides with each colorblock.

With 2-color brioche, each row is worked twice - once with each color - which is indicated by Row#A and Row#B. An instruction to “Slide” will follow each A row. Instead of turning the work, you simply slide the work back to the beginning and work the B row with the second color.
