Both Sides Now Shawl

Right side? Wrong side? Both sides now! This shawl looks equally lovely on both sides. On what is called the right side, the light colored Twigs stitch pattern resembles branching twigs hanging down, and the dark colored Twigs stitch pattern evokes light veined leaves or feathers between the darker Brioche knit stitches. The other side of the shawl features a reversed color scheme, and the branches point up instead of down. Magic!

This two-color top-down crescent shawl begins at the center neck. The simple modified half-pi shaping makes it easy to maintain stitch counts within sections. Alternating the dominant color creates four different looks with only two stitch patterns. Most of the knitting is simple Brioche Rib. Instructions are given for two sizes. The stitch patterns are both charted and written.

Sample is 66" size; model is 5'6" tall.
