Introduction
This shawl was inspired by the many fields of blooming flowers that create blocks of color in Hokkaido, the least developed of Japan’s four main islands. Lavender and tulips span the land as far as the eyes can see. This shawl features color blocks and stripes of color to resemble the beauty of this landscape.

Materials

800 - 1200 yards (732 - 1098 m)/200 - 300 grams of any fingering weight yarn held double and a minimum of 6 colors - using up bits of leftover yarns would be great for this project!

US 6 (4.0 mm) circular needles with a 24 inch (60 cm) and 60 inch (152 cm) cable
