NOTE
Gypsophila - baby’s breath’s scientific name - is a rectangular shawl knitted in one piece from the center to the outer edges. You knit the body in a subtle dot stitch reminiscent of baby’s breath, then increase stitches in one go in the Bloom section to finish with petal-like ruffles in the Corolla section.
