Waves crest and fall. Sun warms skin cooled by the breeze. Wind rushes through your hair as the boat zips through sapphire waters, leaving behind twin trails of Wake.

Gain a sense of sun kissed freedom and serenity even in the deeps of winter when wrapped up in this bulky brioche shawl.

The Wake shawl, inspired by cresting waves and speed boats, is worked from tip to tip with i-cord edges making it fully reversible. Using only one brioche increase and one brioche decrease, this shawl is the epitome of simplicity and calm.

Low - If you’ve knit brioche before, you’ll hit a rhythm of knitting and slipping that will allow you to watch your kids or TV without difficulty.
(If you’ve never knit brioche before, you’ll need a medium to high amount of concentration while you get the hang of it. This is the perfect pattern to learn with and I’m sure you’ll hit your stride before you get to the body!)
