We’re Back In Bloom! This asymmetrical shawlette design begins at one point, growing and blooming into bursts of color and pattern, much like our world as it gradually reopens. Right-side increases every row are balanced with alternating decrease sections on the left, creating a wavy edge. A picot bind-off finishes the shawl with a final blast of color.
