Blooms Scarf

A spring, autumn and summer shawl in a diamond shape with I-cords on the side and a lace pattern showing large flowers.

You only need about 300 m of your favorite spring or summer yarn. A natural fiber content of about 50% ensures that the lace pattern remains nice and open.

The shawl is knitted over 294 rows and a maximum of 77 stitches and is perfect for non-elastic materials such as silk, cotton, linen or viscose. Alternatively a brushed alpaca also works well for the lace pattern and gives you a feather-light, fluffy feeling on the neck.

Knitted in DK yarn, the shawl is about 1 m long and up to 35 cm wide. With thicker yarn it becomes larger, with thinner yarn it becomes smaller.

For winter combine your favourite Springyarn with brushed alpaca for a particularly warm and fluffy shawl. If you like and can tolerate it on your skin, you can of course also use mohair.
