“ROSE HIPS are sometimes called ‘the fruit of the rose’, and a close-up view of these little seed-filled pods inspired this design,” explains Emma Vining. “The stitch pattern features a curving cable pattern depicting tiny rosehips emerging from delicate branches. The cable branch pattern emerges from the lower rib edge and swirls its way to the shoulders.”
