This elegant floral shawl is inspired by the beautiful spring and early summer wildflowers, gently flowing in the breeze on hillsides, and showing off their hidden colours (under the petals) while they sway.

Like the real ones, the flowers on this shawl have a beautiful reverse side to show too! The Brioche Knitting technique allows for a truly multi-faceted and reversible shawl, with just the right balance of drape and bounce for a lovely and cosy feel around the shoulders.
