Raspberries remind me of many summers as a child. Strolling through the garden; playing in the sun. Raspberries’ soft velvety skin and bright color make them fun to pick and eat on the spot. That’s the fun of it!
The Brambasi scarf / stole is an ode to summer and colorful fruits. Its name is an Old Frankish word meaning Raspberry. Brambasi features a fun pattern forming berries spaced by breathy lace. Its wavy edges and edgings with a flare playfully top it off. The amazingly soft and vibrant yarn with lots of drape makes it the perfect accessory for long summer evenings. Knit either a scarf or a stole, and wrap yourself in dreamy softness all summer!
Brambasi is a fun and stylish lace scarf or stole featuring a nicely lacy stitch pattern and some fun wavy edges. It comes in two sizes: a stole or a scarf. The stitch pattern might look complicated at first glance but fear not! It’s really not complicated to work. It’s easy to memorize and knit, and it’s not just me saying: my test knitters experienced the same!
