With a moreish stitch inspired by Yayoi Kusama’s pumpkin patterns, Winter Berry is a side-to-side shawl that practically flies off the needles!

Knit a small for the perfect layer to pop in your bag in case you get cold, or knit a large for a warm and generous shawl that envelopes you like a hug.

This super wearable design is easy to style, stays on your shoulders and would make a surprisingly speedy gift knit.

Winter Berry is cast on at one point and rapidly increased to reach the full width of the shawl. It is knitted straight for a short while before slowly decreasing down to the other point.

The crescent-like shape is achieved through blocking.
