Pattern Description:

A lovely big huggable shawl. I made the sample in Rowan Cocoon and it is so snug, great for keeping the chill off on cold winter nights or outdoors on spring evenings. It is named after the colour of the yarn - Bilberry; the eyelets made me think of the berries and it all fell into place. This pattern is relatively easy, so it is suitable for a beginner knitter. Increases are by yarn overs, the body has sections of eyelets made by yarn overs and the edging is a simple picot cast off. It is an easy lace design. Being bulky yarn it makes up really quickly. This is also available in the pattern collection - The Berry Shawl Collection, available here on Craftsy. Also available in a DK version - Blueberry Shawl, and a sock weight version - Winberry Shawl - here on Craftsy.

Beautiful and enjoyable shawl to knit. March 21, 2013

This shawl was a joy to make and watch the pattern develop under your fingers. It was quick to make since using chunky yarn, but it turned out beautiful. The picot edge turned out so pretty too! It's a lovely design; simple, pretty detail and the pattern is well written and easy to follow. I will definitely be making more of this pattern.
