Luxurious and romantic, Brambleberry features a generous crescent body and tips that curl like tendrils. Rapidly-worked increases give the shawl a crescent that’s firm at the top to envelop your shoulders, and drapey and full in the body to flow and move with you.

Worked from the top down, Brambleberry increases on both every right side and every wrong side and includes a graceful ombre transition between the main and contrast colours. The bramble lace border is worked on both the right side and wrong side, and directions are provided in both charted and written form.

Directions are also included for a single-colour version, which places the focus on the graceful lace border.
