Bramble Berry Crescent Shawl

A combination of color & stitches make for a stunning shawl

After knitting up the Moonbeam Crescent shawl for Darn Good Yarn, I had a few ideas for others pop into my head. In my stash, I had gorgeous yarn from KnitPicks and the two just came together to create the stunning Bramble Berry Shawl.

The Inspiration for the shawl:

I knitted this while visiting my parents and a combination of the Laurel Highlands and the amazing colors inspired the name. If you’ve ever hiked in this area you know the brambles (or jagger bushes as we call them) are a staple. And the pinks and purples in this just reminded of all of the hues of delicious berries.

Feast your eyes on this sweet little pattern:

About the Bramble Berry Pattern:

The shawl is crescent shaped, using a combination of yarn overs and yarn overs with knit one’s to make new stitches in every row.

The instructions are completely written out in this pattern – with no charts or diagrams. I try to make my patterns as easy as possible to follow, making them available to as many knitters as possible. Charts frustrate me as they slow me down. This shawl should be a fun and easy project to knit.

The pattern is 3 pages in length, so it won’t kill your printer. (or too many trees.)

The Bramble Berry Shawl is designed to use simple elements like garter stitch and eyelet sections, with beautiful yarns to create a stunning shawl. This makes the shawl easy, fun and fast to knit. It’s a great pattern for knitflixing and binging a season of your favorite show on Netflix.

As you knit, the garter ridge sections might feel like they’re sitting “higher” than the others, but blocking this shawl will flatten everything out and make it a little bit larger as well.
