Floating Blossom
Floating Blossom is a top-down, crescent shape shawl. Its center panel twists, trellis-like, with a ribbed cable. The body of the shawl holds floating berry blooms with more sweet cables bordering the shawl’s edge.
Yarn: DK weight. Total yarn needed: 872 yards (797 m), 400 g (14 oz).
Suggested Yarn: The Woolly Mammoth Fibre Co. BFL/Masham DK Singles: 218 yards (200 m) per 100 g (3.5 oz) skein. 4 skeins of Peony. I used almost the entire four skeins of yarn. In case of gauge differences, you may want to purchase additional yarn. NOTE: Woolly Mammoth is not currently stocking this yarn, but their BFL/Masham 2ply is an excellent substitute.
Suggested Needles: US 4 (3.5 mm) for main needle AND US 6 (4.0 mm) needle for the bind-off. I recommend a 32” circular needle or longer.
Gauge (after blocking): 22 sts and 31 rows in 4” (10 cm) in stockinette with main needle.
Finished Measurements (after blocking): Center depth - 24” (61 cm), wingspan - 61” (155 cm).
Difficulty Level: Suitable for intermediate knitters who are proficient at the following skills: knit, purl, make ones, yarn overs, and cabling.
Notions: Stitch markers (sets of different colors or shapes are useful), cable needle, and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends. (See marker/keeper suggestions in Notes section.)
This item is a digital pattern .pdf for you to knit the shawl yourself. It’s not an actual finished shawl.
