Barberry is a generously sized scarf full of texture. It features cables, moss stitch, Japanese wrapped stitches and simple lace. Inspired by the beauty of a barberry bush adorned with clusters of delicate berries, this scarf is similarly rich and playful. The light lilac shade helps to highlight the dance of the stitch patterns. Try the scarf on as you go to see which length works best for you — the pattern is easy to adjust.
