Wenanty

Wenanty is a rectangular wrap that combines lace and brioche to create a shawl of unusual texture which is emphasized even more by wandering lines of knit and purl stitches.

Brioche is transformed into a technique of simple knit and purl stitches (with a twist) and is achievable for anyone who has never done brioche before, or who has tried before and thinks it is beyond them.

Wenanty can be done as a light summer shawl or a warm winter wrap or scarf, depending on yarn weight you choose. My sample was knit in Juniper Moon Farm Findley on US 4 / 3.5mm needles.

Wenanty is a yarn consuming pattern as brioche doesn’t open in blocking as much as regular lace. Hence, you need to allow more yarn that you would normally use for a lace shawl.

The size can be adjusted to your preferences, eight widths are available by varying the number of cast on stitches and the length depends on the number of pattern repeats.

The pattern was tested and proofread by native English speakers.
