Berry Patch
Toni and Leann teamed up to provide me with yarn for a large scale project. They both worked from the same photo of a blackberry patch with Tonie creating the variegated colors and Leann the subtle semi-solids.
I was inspired by Tonie and Leann’s friendship and collaboration to create a pattern that combined their yarns seamlessly. The result, as is often the case with a good friendship, is something big, beautiful, and very comfortable.
Finished Measurments (as shown)
Wingspan: 90 inches / 229cm
Depth: 27 inches / 69cm
Yarn
Fingering weight yarn in the following amounts:
A: 290 yards / 265m
B: 430 yards / 393m
C: 220 yards / 201m
D: 430 yards / 393m
The pattern is written using percentages of yarn used so be sure to weigh your yarns before starting. You can use any size skeins you want, just know that the finished size will vary with the size of your skeins.
You will use nearly all of colors B and D, so calculations should be based on the size of those skeins. The simplest way to go is to use 4 equal sized skeins.
