Seagull Flight

Seagull Flight is a two color brioche half-pi shawl that is knit flat. It features syncopated brioche rib, and brioche increases and decreases to create the seagulls. The shawl is shaped by increasing at pre-planned intervals rather than on every row, making it a very easy to follow knit.

Pattern requires two 100g balls of fingering weight yarn in contrasting colors. Instructions include an option to make your shawl larger with additional yarn, and how to maximize your yarn usage as you near the end of your shawl. Gauge is not critical.
