Cosmo in Bloom is a delightful play of garter stitch, stripes, and an easy textured lace that gives the shawl that special little something.

It’s a fabulous backdrop with which to play with color. There are 2 size options--small requiring around 100g of fingering weight yarn in the MC and the medium requiring around 150g. So you can grab 2-3 skeins of Koigu or have fun mixing and matching scraps using my special fade recipe.

It definitely hits the sweet spot of relaxing yet engaging. And I hope you find it as much of a delight as I did!
