After the trees have shed their leaves in the Fall in New England, little berries appear that were once hidden. Bare branches suspend colorful berries that add a whole new dimension to the landscape. This shawl was inspired by the cheerful berries that appear during the gray winter months. The pretty cable and bobble panel on the WinterBerry shawl is the main attraction framed by simple ribs. The edging can be blocked straight or into points to add a bit of flair.
