The Wave-y Journey to Wake, A Brioche Shawl

Wake was a gorgeous little surprise that came out of the blue! And it has a bit of an interesting story. 

(Not so interested in origins? No problem! Skip down to the photos!)

This gorgeous oversized shawl began its life, not as the lovely, chill blue you see today, but in green and gold. Yup. Think school/team colors. 

Why would I do such a thing considering I like no sports at all?

Well, the prompt which inspired the original idea was that of bounty and harvest. So my mind immediately went back to my childhood in the cornfield of Indiana, and combines. 

Combines leave these huge, deep furrows in the ground, which made me think of the ridges and valleys of brioche. 

Then Fairmount Fibers (the USA distributor of Manos del Uruguay) emailed me with interest in collaborating on the design using the new colors of Manos del Uruguay Cardo–a gorgeously squishy all Corriedale bulky weight yarn. They have so many fabulous colors that it was hard to choose, so I came up with a few color combinations and put them up for a vote on Instagram. These blues were the clear winners!

Note: The yarn for this pattern was provided for me at no charge by the yarn company. Yarn support allows designers, like me, to continue to provide you with gorgeous patterns while we grow!

I’m so glad they were because I absolutely adore how it turned out. 

But now my origin story didn’t fit. And it still needed a name. 

As I knit it, the light blue against the dark reminded me of water churned up behind a boat against the deep blue of a lake or sea. It was rather mesmerizing, and so Wake was born.

The Wake shawl, named after cresting waves and speed boats, is knit from tip to tip with i-cord edges making it fully reversible. Using only one brioche increase and one brioche decrease, this shawl is the epitome of simplicity and calm.

Knit it up quick in one of 3 sizes to perfectly fit your frame!
