BSB

BSB is a shawl (not to be confused with the 90’s boyband the Backstreet Boys) which combines 3 of my favorite stitches: Brioche, Stripes, and Bobbles! This top-down triangular knit shawl is equal parts enjoyable and engaging to knit. It features 2-color brioche, 2-color stripes, and crochet bobbles with a smooth and stretchy I-cord bind off. The finished size makes this shawl easy to wear and perfect for layering fall through spring. Designed in Brooklyn Tweed Peerie yarn, you will have fun mixing and matching solid colors, or substitute a hand dyed yarn for a more playful shawl!
