✨ Why You’ll Love Turning Leaves Brioche Shawl
The Turning Leaves Brioche Shawl by Elaine Phillips is a stunning asymmetrical triangle shawl that beautifully combines two-color brioche knitting with classic garter stitch. Its elegant leaf border flows gracefully along the longest edge, creating a striking design inspired by the changing colors and shapes of autumn foliage.
Although the shawl features brioche techniques, the thoughtful construction makes it an enjoyable project for knitters looking to expand their skills. The combination of textured brioche columns, colorful garter stitch sections, and the eye-catching leaf edging creates a lightweight accessory that looks intricate while remaining relaxing to knit.

🌈 What Makes This Shawl Special
Turning Leaves Brioche Shawl stands out through its beautiful combination of texture and color. The elegant brioche leaf border creates a dramatic finishing edge, while slim brioche columns spaced throughout the garter stitch body add depth without overwhelming the design.
The shawl begins from the pointed tip and gradually grows into an asymmetrical triangle, allowing the flowing leaf motif to develop naturally as you knit. The contrast between smooth garter stitch and lofty brioche fabric creates a lightweight shawl with exceptional drape and visual interest.
Whether worked in bold contrasting shades or subtle tonal colors, the finished shawl showcases the beauty of two-color brioche knitting.
👕 Style & Wear Tips
- Choose high-contrast colors to highlight the brioche leaf motifs.
- Gradient or self-striping yarns create especially dramatic results.
- Block the finished shawl thoroughly to open the leaf edging and enhance the overall drape.
- Wear it wrapped around the shoulders, draped loosely over a jacket, or styled as a generous scarf during cooler seasons.
