Golden Willow

There is a Golden Willow tree growing in the yard of Patti Smith, nurtured from a fallen branch back to life. This wrap is named for this beautiful tree. Inspired by Patti Smith and her phenomenal poetry : a wrap shaped like a parallelogram, showcasing different brioche textures with two-color brioche color blocks as the focal point. The pattern created by the brioche stitches in the center color blocks resembles tree shapes formed in nature.

Grab 3 skeins of fingering weight yarn for a textural wrap. For the best results, I recommend a light, medium, and dark color, and to choose solid or semi-solid yarns. If you want to use speckled or variegated yarns, I recommend something with very subtle speckles or variegation to truly see the textural brioche shining through.

Construction Notes: Golden Willow is knit from side to side, starting and ending with very few stitches.

This pattern has both written instructions and charts, which are used simultaneously.
