This dramatic and romantic floral motif Rectangular Shawl or Stole is like a beautiful bouquet of tropical blooms gathered from the hot house to bring a cheery touch to your wardrobe and warmth to your shoulders on cool summer evenings.

The fun stitches and simple construction make this an interesting, yet relaxing make and the flower motifs are an excellent portable project to carry with you on the go. This make also offers the chance for stash-busting to use small quantities of your favourite leftover yarn scraps in the floral section, turning your accessories into an album of your favourite craft memories.

Big Flowers Crochet Pattern Collection includes a wonderful range of makes for the home and to wear, including two coaster/appliqué designs, two 5cm/6” square designs, a scarf, a headscarf, a neckerchief, a triangle shawl, a stole and a rectangle shawl. In addition, six inch squares are a popular size for crochet designs and the Big Flowers Squares can be used alongside any others of the same size in sampler blankets, bags, cushions or whatever you like to make with crocheted squares.
