My mother is from London. The English love their flowers and my Mom is no exception. She has been a floral designer and we lived in England for 6 years when I was young. Now we all live in southern California. And flowers are still all around us!

This pattern is a great way to start lace knitting; it’s just one repeat of 16 sts and all wrong side rows are purl. You will need to know or learn how to k, p, k2tog, ssk, yo, and w&t. All instructions are included for these techniques, including an easy way to pick up the wraps on the last row. (Thank you, Molly!) The result is a lovely, swingy, feminine, asymmetric triangle shawl. It’s not as big as most of my shawls, which makes it quicker to knit and great for warmer weather, too. Also, it’s a shape many of you may not have made before. I am available for answering questions through e-mail (my email address is at the bottom of all of my patterns).

The lace row is charted and also written out for those who don’t like working from charts. You will use almost all of the skein of Knit Picks Stroll fingering.

You can wear this sweet shawl in a number of ways, or even use it as a home embellishment, draped fluidly over a chair. This will look great in just about any ombre or solid. Because the lacy pattern is allover, using a lighter color is a good choice; even speckled yarn will be pretty. I chose the pink Stroll gradiant from Knit Picks for its beautiful garden pinks; just so stunning like the petals of a ruffly flower!
