The Blooming Stripes is a fun triangle-shaped shawl using the extended single crochet stitch to create a fabric which is both airy and reversible with a beautiful picot stitch border at the end. The simple striped construction allows hand-dyed yarns to really shine. It’s a great piece to toss on to cover your shoulders on a chilly evening, or a wonderful way to add some color to any outfit!

This pattern is a variation of the Lupin in Bloom pattern by Inner Yarn Zen. My version uses a similar base pattern but is larger and uses two colors in stripes of varying sizes.
