Paloma Stripe Shawl PDF Pattern

The Paloma Stripe Shawl is based on one of my favorite beverages. I love the taste of salt mixing with tequila and the fresh squeezed grapefruit soda flavor all mixing together. With these two yarns, I loved how subtle the two colors looked, reminding me of a Paloma. In the border of the shawl, I wanted to mimic a grapefruit slice with the brioche increases.

This is an asymmetrical shawl. It begins with simple garter stripes, and then brioche stripes are knit to create asymmetry. It ends with a row of brioche increases to create the grapefruit slice border.

Construction
This shawl is worked flat from one end to the other. An asymmetric shape is created with increases in both the garter and brioche sections. An increase row in brioche is worked across the bottom of the shawl, then the shawl is knit in brioche for a few more rows and finally, the shawl is bound off.
