The Floks shawl is a sister design to Floks vest, featuring the “cat paws” lace motifs reimagined as blossoms, each one nestled inside its own garter-stitch “pocket”.

It is a mini shawl, intended to be worn comfortably under a jacket, covering the back and wrapping around the neck. Knit with extended wings and ties, it can also be worn wrapped around the chest and tied on the back. Romantic yet versatile, Floks shawl can be knit in a lightweight yarn for an airy layering piece or in a chunky wool for warmth and coziness.

The shawl is worked top-down flat, starting from a triangular back panel and finishing with two wings. The wings are picked up from the cast-on edge of the back panel and shaped towards the tips with gradual decreases.
