Starstruck

Starstruck is an asymmetric triangle brioche shawlette, knit from narrow end to wide end. It features a syncopated brioche edging, and assigned pooling stars on the body of the shawlette. The pattern requires two skeins of fingering weight yarn, one of which should be dyed for assigned pooling. You’ll need a 24″ circular needle for working 2-color brioche flat.

The shawl is a deep triangle, slightly off center due to its asymmetry.

Your pooling yarn tells you when it’s time to create your assigned pooling stars.

I knit my shawlette using A Chick That Knitz Singles Fingering, in Hibernation and Caramel.

This pattern is available on Ravelry and Payhip.
