This shawl is inspired by the Costa Brava, those spectacular wild coves with turquoise, blue and emerald green waters. Knitting the Brava shawl has the same relaxing effect as sitting to watch the sun set over the Mediterranean. It combines lace, texture and tones that plunge us into the depths of the fabric. Created in super fine yarn, it´s knitted flat, back and forth, from the bottom up starting with just 3 centre stitches and growing to the sides and up. It´s final shape is triangular.

To knit this shawl, it´s necessary to know how to knit, purl, increase, cast on stitches with the garter tab method, simple lace, color melting and i-cord bind off.

The pattern is a pdf document that includes written instructions, charts and two video tutorials for the garter tab method and the i-cord bind off.
