Brambling Shawl

Brambling is a cozy, asymmetric triangular shawl that combines texture and color to create a striking yet wearable accessory. Featuring a combination of garter stitch, eyelet lace, and playful stripes, Brambling is an enjoyable and meditative knit. The shawl is worked from one tip to the opposite edge, with gradual increases creating a gentle slope that makes it easy to wear draped over the shoulders or wrapped around the neck.
