The colors in this shawl are inspired by a berry crumble that I ate in Edinburgh. The colors smoothly fade from purple to pink to yellow and look a lot like the berry filling soaking into the top crust of my dessert. The yarn colors do not need to be similar in order to create the fade, the combination of lace, brioche and garter stitch is arranged to blend any shades together. Make sure your yarns have good contrast so that the stitch work is well defined.

I’ve uploaded images of the first 3 pages of the pattern so that you can get a general feeling for how my patterns are formatted. The pattern info, supplies, schematics, and recipe is on these pages. I put pattern photos only on these pages - you don’t need to print them if you want to save ink.

My berry crumble recipe is on page 2 of the pattern. This Americanized version of the dessert contains pecans in the topping!
