The Bubbly Shawl is a playful, asymmetrical triangular shawl bursting with color and texture. Designed by Meaghan Schmaltz and Heather Walpole, this sport weight shawl features clever construction and cheerful bubble motifs created using German Short Rows.

It’s a great project to knit—and even more fun to wear!

Bubbly starts with just a few stitches and grows in size as you work short row “bubbles” in three contrasting colors against a garter stitch background. It’s the perfect canvas to showcase your favorite Ewe So Sporty merino yarn shades.

Make Bubbly your own with bold pops or subtle shifts—every version is uniquely you!
