A delicate bloom to wrap around your shoulders, the Dahlia Shawl is an elegant and airy piece perfect for summer evenings. This light and sophisticated design begins with a circular lace panel at the centre, where a stylized flower motif unfurls like petals in full bloom. Worked in the round, this intricate section forms the heart of the shawl.
From the floral centre, the stitches are divided to form two graceful wings, each worked flat and tapering gently to a refined point. The result is a beautifully balanced crescent shape that drapes effortlessly around the shoulders.
Knit in luxurious light fingering-weight merino wool, the Dahlia Shawl measures approximately 50 x 240 cm (20 x 95 in), offering both generous length and an ethereal feel. Its unique construction and elegant lacework make it a rewarding project for knitters who enjoy a touch of complexity and a truly special finished piece.
