The Flower Power Shawl

This pattern is available on Ravelry.

By: Christine M Young and Cheryl Kubat

Colorful flowers are in bloom, if not outside, all over our latest shawl pattern! Designer, Christine Young, uses large areas of contrast color to make up the two flower motifs within this shawl design. It’s a blast to knit with our unique yarns and watch the beautiful flowers come to life right before your eyes.

The Flower Power Shawl is worked from the center out with a stockinette foundation and eyelet accents. A mini skein kit is used to create two intarsia flowers and the scalloped bind off edge. The shape is curved, like a crescent moon making it idea for draping around your shoulders cozily.
