Golden Orchids
“During the Victorian era, orchid symbolism shifted to luxury, and today this sense of magnificence and artful splendor continues, with orchids representing rare and delicate beauty. ”
Golden Orchids is an elegant shawl to wrap around your neck. Its shape is semi-circular, a modified triangle, and it’s knitted from the center of neck outwards. The beads on the border adds a little hint of luxury and sparkle. The lace motif in the border chart has a blooming orchid motif which was specially designed for this project.
