This design was created in collaboration with Hinterland Yarn for their 2021 Fall/ Winter collection.

The Trailing Blackberry Shawl is inspired by the incredible forest ecosystems found on Vancouver Island. The trailing blackberry is the only native blackberry species in British Columbia, making it ever so special to the local flora.

The shawl is constructed using a side-to-side triangle shawl method with the increases and decreases occurring on the right side of the shawl. It is a textured shawl, which features bobbles, a cabled border and pulled through stitches on a garter stitch background.
