Botany is part of the Flatlands Collection featured at the 2017 Manitoba Fibre Festival. Join us on Ravelry, Facebook, and Instagram (using the hashtag #flatlandscollection) for a KAL. Official FO posts can be made on the Manitoba Fibre Festival forum to qualify for a prize.

Inspired by some of my favorite prairie flowers, Botany is a half-circle shawl knit in a simple lace pattern that evokes unfurling petals. Knit in a super bulky yarn, this shawl will keep you cozy through the long prairie winter, and remind you of the flowers promised by spring.
