BRAMBLE SHAWL

Bramble combines a striking stitch pattern with easy-going garter stitch. The vine-like motif and lace border create a detailed and eye-catching design, while the generous size gives it plenty of drape without feeling heavy.

The pattern is written for experienced (or adventurous beginner) lace knitters and includes both charts and written instructions. The lace edging is worked sideways for added interest, and the overall construction balances complexity with a rewarding finish. Light yet substantial, this shawl is a satisfying project and a versatile accessory.

The size can be adjusted by working a smaller/larger garter stitch section and by working more/fewer repeats of the lace motif. Instructions on how to alter the size are included in the pattern.
