Scattered Rosehips

This delightful shawl design draws inspiration from cherished childhood memories of brambling, or picking blackberries, with my mother and sister along the picturesque country lanes. Those joyful afternoons were often followed by the delightful process of making bramble and apple jelly—a nostalgic experience that I hold dear. Interestingly, the charming bobbles in this pattern resemble rosehips, which I also enjoy gathering in the autumn months to craft into homemade syrup.

This shawl pattern offers a fun and engaging knitting experience with just the right amount of intricacy. The bobbles are designed to lie flatter than traditional cabled bobbles, resembling nupps while being notably easier to create. You have the creative freedom to scatter the 'rosehips' as you see fit—whether you choose to follow the layout seen in the sample or to arrange them in a style that reflects your personal tastes. The sizes and positions of these ‘rosehips’ are not rigidly defined, allowing for a more relaxed and enjoyable knitting experience.

Ideal for intermediate knitters, this shawl pattern not only embodies the essence of autumn with its cozy design but also invites you to incorporate your unique touch. Create a stunning accessory that brings warmth and style to your wardrobe while evoking the beautiful memories of gathering berries and sharing moments with loved ones. Dive into this enjoyable knitting adventure and celebrate the beauty of nature with every stitch!
