The Starstruck shawlette is knit flat in 2-color brioche rib. It is embellished with a syncopated brioche border that evokes swirling nebulas, and also features assigned pooling stars in the body of the shawlette.

Choose 2 skeins of fingering weight yarn, one of which should be dyed for assigned pooling. The body of the shawlette features the assigned pooling yarn both in brioche rib and in the stars. The background color is featured in the syncopated brioche border.

I love brioche, and I love assigned pooling. And I love combining these techniques!

Gauge is not critical. Knit until your yarn runs out, or make your shawlette smaller by ending sooner.
