Wild Berries is a simple yet adventerous top-down crescent shaped shawl in a generous size - it’ll be a perfect relaxing knit! It’s knitted mostly with garter stitch and brioche with some fun textured stitches that resemble little berries.
It was inspired by the Dye Dye Done Pure Merino wool colors Anything Goes and Meteorite that, combined together, look like a wide array of wild berries. All that combined with the slightly pinkish tone of Vanilla Late invites you to stroll trough a forest, maybe picking up some berries for yourself.
