Tücher Magazine by Lana Grossa – Knitted Shawl Pattern Summary

About This Pattern

This downloadable PDF from Lana Grossa is part of the Tücher & Co. 04 magazine collection, offering a beautifully crafted shawl design suitable for beginner knitters. The pattern focuses on a large, elegant rectangular shawl worked in a striking two-color brioche rib technique, combining rich colorwork with a luxurious yarn blend for a finished piece that is both visually impressive and wonderfully tactile.

What Is Being Made

• Design 01: A large rectangular shawl measuring 50 x 200 cm, worked in a two-color brioche rib stitch pattern with shaped edges and a crochet finishing border.

Techniques Used

The shawl is constructed using several key knitting and finishing techniques that, while approachable for beginners, produce a sophisticated result:

• Two-color brioche rib: The primary stitch pattern, worked according to a chart. Brioche knitting creates a deeply textured, reversible ribbed fabric with a squishy, voluminous quality. The two-color variation introduces alternating yarn colors on each pass, producing a rich, woven-looking effect on both the right side and wrong side of the fabric.
• Chart reading: The pattern is worked following a stitch chart, with a multiple of 2 stitches plus 1, plus 2 selvage stitches on each end (not shown on the chart itself).
• Shaping rows: The shawl features directional shaping using k2tog (knit two together, a right-leaning decrease) and M1R (make one right, an increase), worked on right-side rows every 4th row to maintain the stitch count while subtly shaping the piece. Selvage stitches are slipped throughout for a neat edge.
• Blocking: After binding off, the finished shawl is pinned to its full measurements and blocked, which is especially important with the luxury fiber content to open up the stitch pattern and set the final dimensions.
• Crochet edging: A single crochet (sc) border is worked along the color-change edges on both the right side and wrong side of the shawl using a crochet hook, adding a polished, defined finish to the transitions between colors.

Stitches Used

• Two-color brioche rib – the main body stitch pattern
• k2tog – right-leaning decrease used in shaping rows
• M1R – right-leaning increase used in shaping rows to keep stitch count consistent
• Slipped selvage stitches – worked at each edge for a tidy selvedge
• Single crochet (sc) – used for the finishing border along color-change lines

Materials Required

The shawl is knitted in Lana Grossa Lace Seta Mulberry, a refined laceweight yarn composed of 35% Mulberry silk, 35% baby Alpaca, and 30% extrafine Merino wool, with a yardage of approximately 175 m per 50 g. This blend brings together the lustrous sheen of silk, the softness and warmth of baby alpaca, and the elasticity and stitch definition of extrafine Merino — making it an ideal choice for a delicate, drapey shawl with beautiful stitch clarity.
