Simply Stellar is an asymmetric triangle brioche shawlette, knit on the bias from narrow end to wide end. It features assigned pooling stars. The pattern requires two skeins of fingering weight yarn, one of which should be dyed for assigned pooling.
I knit my Simply Stellar with A Chick That Knitz Deluxe sock in Wildflowers (pooling) and Sassy, a fabulous hot pink.
I designed this shawlette as a slightly simpler version of my Starstruck. Tammy Pelfrey, the dyer at A Chick that Knitz, told me that some people were intimidated by the syncopated border on Starstruck, so Simply Stellar was designed as a simpler introduction to brioche plus assigned pooling. The shaping is very simple, and the yarn tells you when it’s time to make a star.

Yay and congratulations! I’m sorry my test knit was not completed on time. Too many things got in the way including a death in the family and subsequent trip back East. I’m actually really close to completing it, finally! It was not a fast knit for me, even after I got back to it. But very enjoyable, and the steady rhythm of of broche stitches is very soothing and satisfying.
Thanks for the beautiful pattern. This shawlette will be gifted to my sister in law, whose daughter died at age 50, in June. I’m hoping the stars in it will bring her comfort.
warmly,

Yet another beautiful creation. HOW I wish I were still a knitter … or do I ? – Simply Stellar doesn’t look like the absolutely easiest thing in the world to knit …
Very pretty.
Beautiful as always!
