Bobbledygook is a playful exploration of texture, rhythm, and color.

This crochet shawl begins with an asymmetrical triangle worked side-to-side in a textured mesh fabric punctuated with cheerful bobbles. Once the body of the shawl is complete, the work rotates to form a traditional top-down triangle, allowing the design to expand into a flowing moss-stitch border accented with additional bobble details.

Whether worked in bold contrasts or subtle tonal fades, Bobbledygook celebrates the joy of texture and the simple pleasure of watching a shawl grow stitch by stitch.
