Paris, tea shops, and colorful flowers. Simple brioche, repetitive, luxurious lace, and soothing garter eyelets. This shawl was designed to be knit with company.

Parlour :: Elegance with a wild side :: An asymmetrical triangle shawl knit flat from tip to edge, with a thrilling combination of two-color brioche, mesh lace short rows, and a simple eyelet garter stitch.

Using 3 full skeins and 1 mini-skein of La Bien Aimée Merino Singles, Parlour is an approachable, easy-to-wear color block shawl. It will keep you on your toes, starting with two-color brioche with twisted eyelets, adding a pop of color and interest with a mesh lace short row wedge, creating some relaxing simple eyelet garter fabric, and ending with another small mesh lace short row wedge to finish the look.

Parlour shawl is an exciting collaboration with La Bien Aimée in Paris! Many thanks to Aimée for this incredible opportunity.
