Catenary Curve Brioche Shawl knitting pattern

Catenary Curve is an elongated semi-circular shawl worked in a single 100 gram  ball of 4 ply yarn, designed to sit comfortably on the shoulders and wrap easily as a scarf, with a fluid, uncluttered silhouette.

The body of the shawl is worked in brioche, creating a softly structured fabric that highlights the interplay of light and shadow within the stitches. When worked in a yarn with long, gradual colour changes, the shaping when blocked produces a series of gentle coloured arches across the fabric, emphasising the curve of the design without the need for multiple colours. A subtle lace eyelet edging traces the outer curve, introducing gentle openness while maintaining the clean, modern lines of the shawl.
