CROMULENT SHAWL is an asymmetric triangular shawl with a bias knit body and a simple yet striking border. The border features horizontal and vertical stripes achieved using garter and brioche stockinette stitches.

The border is also a good opportunity to play with gradient yarns, mini-skeins or even use up some leftovers. Just make it your own.

If you have only ‘played with brioche’ and want to try a simple brioche project, this might be the one. For experienced brioche knitters, it will be a quick and mostly mindless knit, of course.

I designed this shawl as a go-to kind of accessory, i.e. something you reach for often, wear anywhere without much thinking, but still feel adequate. The word ‘cromulent’ originated as a joke in The Simpsons show. It means ‘acceptable’ or ‘fine’.

It is not quite an exaggeration to say that the world was a very different place when I started working on this pattern, last February. And I have been clutching at my knitting every now and then for hope and comfort during those times. I just hope that I am helping bring a little cheer to your day through my work. 
Stay well, stay safe.
