The Blackberry Kisses shawl is a cosy crescent shaped shawl inspired by my very favourite season. The arrival of Blackberries means that Autumn and the cooler weather will soon be with us, and takes me back to fond childhood memories of going on country walks and blackberry picking. This crescent shaped shawl features sections of simple garter stitch, stripes and a cosy cabled border.

Charts are included for the cable sections in addition to written line by line instructions.
