Crinoidea Shawl

This triangular two-colour, syncopated brioche shawl looks striking in all colour combinations. It uses approximately 365m (400yds) of each of two colours of fingering or sport weight yarn.

The pattern has both written instructions and charts. Detailed descriptions of the more unusual stitches and a photo tutorial for the edging are included.

For a long while I didn’t know what to call this shawl. Then one day I was looking something up on Wikipedia and I came across a type of animal I’d never heard of, yet which seemed to look strangely reminiscent of my shawl design.
