Perspective
Perspective uses Brioche Tweed — single-color brioche stitch to create thin, single-row stripes, a stitch pattern that should be a thrill for brioche enthusiasts and beginners alike. From a distance, the three colors almost melt together, like mixing paints, and then pop in their own stand-out short row sections. With the geometric wedges and stripes, this shawl evokes the vanishing point concept used by artists.
