Wild Rosehips

Wild Rosehip is a beautiful, filigree-like shawl, with the body adorned by a pattern of delicate branches of wild rose berries. The lace/colorwork is light, graceful and easier than it looks!

The beautiful border adds a refined yet organic touch to the overall look, making the shawl absolutely exquisite and elegant.

Construction

Wild Rosehips is a top-down triangular shawl started with an i-cord tab, then continued with the normal increases along the sides and the center. The right and the left sides of the shawl are perfectly symmetrical and are divided by a single stitch worked in CC only. Lateral i-cords give a finished look with no effort.

The shawl is covered in a filigree of rose berries over a dark background. The background is worked with two yarns held together and the motif is obtained using only one of the two yarns. The berries look like nupps, but are actually a sort of “dip stitch” that is much easier to work (Tutorial included in the pattern).
