There’s something magical about wrapping yourself in a shawl that feels like a gentle breeze and crashing waves all at once—and that’s exactly what Gullberry offers. With each stitch, this triangular shawl blooms into a stunning wavelike lace motif, flowing along the bias like ripples across calm waters.

Knit it in a single shade or let colour play take the lead—Gullberry sings in solids, semi-solids, soft speckles, or light variegation. Want to get extra creative? It’s ready for your scrappy flair or those precious mini-skeins you’ve been saving for just the right project.

This triangular shawl is worked on the bias, beginning at one corner and gradually expanding as you knit. With three stitches added every four rows, it grows steadily, creating a beautifully flowing shape. The result is a lush, elegant accessory with effortless drape and movement.

This project is worked flat, and it includes written directions throughout, accompanied by charts for pattern motifs, and a shaping schematic to guide you through each step. The instructions are broken down into clear, easy-to-digest sections to prevent overwhelm, ensuring a smooth knitting experience.

To further assist you, a link is provided that contains additional resources, such as a pattern progress tracker and a technique playlist. These tools give you everything you need to create your masterpiece confidently.
