Bluegrass Shawl

A few days ago Wool & Pine posted their Bluegrass on Instagram and it’s been a while since I’ve posted about this shawl. You can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Welcome to a bold, stashbusting brioche adventure! Bluegrass Shawl blends effortless style with cozy texture, featuring plush two-color brioche knit on the bias for a relaxing, low-stitch-count experience. Let your colors shine, mix and match treasured mini skeins, and watch the magic unfold.

Design Details

Knitting on the bias creates a dynamic, fluid drape, allowing colors to shift beautifully across the fabric. The simple yet striking brioche pattern makes this shawl a soothing, meditative knit. Best of all? No need to weave in ends—just let them become part of the playful fringe! 

Not a fan of fringe? Simply weave in your ends for a clean, classic look.

Construction

Bluegrass Shawl begins at one tip and grows lengthwise on the bias, expanding into a generous, reversible wrap. The flexible design lets you knit to your desired length (or until you run out of yarn!). With just one type of increase and decrease, it’s a breeze to master.

Brioche Made Simple

New to brioche? We’ve got you covered! The stitch pattern remains consistent throughout the shawl, making it approachable for adventurous beginners. Plus, our in-depth video class guides you through every stitch. Alongside the 45-minute Learn to Brioche Class, you can knit along with our step-by-step tutorial, working through each row of the brioche repeat together.

Here is my Bluegrass that has been sitting in a basket for some time. Right side.

I am using all single ply yarn for mine. 

I put together a few kits. Some combine a Theme Pack from Emma’s with Practically Perfect Smalls. For one I used all Practically Perfect Smalls. By Wool & Pine’s yardage you need 12 Smalls but I made the kits with 20 or 22 skeins. The more colours the better.

The kits are available online and in the store.

When I got home last night I went into the sewing room and the yarn was right on top of the first bin I looked in. I worked on the shawl while watching the hockey game. I stopped at the end of the third period and overtime - that was a mistake waiting to happen.

Of course I came in this morning and added a few more colours to my bag. 

I was able to do a few more rows in the store today. 

I am on hold getting the TV set up at the new house. I wish they would hurry because I want to get home to knit. Have a good evening. It’ll be an early evening after being up late last night.
