Hello, my love dumplings!  We have a gorgeous new knitting pattern for you this week called Ambling Way, and it is so perfect for spring! The colors make me think of sunshine falling on my beautiful crocuses, bearded irises, and tulips.

Featuring the Emerging Hues Kit in Resilient Sock, Ambling Way is a simple, rectangular shawl that features alternating sections of Bramble and Stockinette stitch. The playful bobbles of the Bramble Stitch appear to sit on top of a background of Stockinette, which creates a strong, linear design that emphasizes the gorgeous colors of the Emerging Hues Kit.

To knit this piece, you’ll begin and end with a 12-row Bramble Stitch border, while the body of the shawl is knit using both the Bramble and Stockinette stitches. You’ll cast on with C1, and complete the border and first pattern sequence before transitioning to C2 and eventually C3. After the midway point, you’ll return to C2, and then finally end with C1, which creates a symmetrical design.

Ambling Way uses 3 skeins of our Resilient Sock yarn found in our Emerging Hues Kit.

The sample shown used 332 to 348 yards of each color, and approximately 1,027 yards were used in total.

 

We have filmed a video tutorial for you showing you how to work the bramble stitch featured in this pattern. Take a look:

I love the textured bramble stitch on this shawl. This stitch is charted to help you visualize it. When I see it in this beautiful purple color, it makes me think of ripened blackberries in the summer.

This shawl’s length and width are easily customizable, but will affect the yardage needed.
