This design was inspired by berries that ripen during the warm summer months. Rich textures of vine (twisted stitches) and berries (nupps) are balanced out with the lightness of delicate true knitted lace.

The shawl features a four section top-down construction. This shape is a pleasure to knit, style, and wear. Summer Harvest explores Japanese and Estonian lace knitting traditions, combining the two in a project that is unusual and sophisticated. Work lace patterns from written or charted instructions.
