Featuring delicate blossom petals and tiny leaves, this shawl is an homage to the beauty of nature, regrowth, and transformation.

Blossom & Bloom is knit top down starting from a garter tab cast on. Once the main body of the shawl has been completed, the live stitches are left on hold and the lower edging is knit sideways onto the shawl body. On completion, this shawl needs to be heavily blocked to open out the lace
pattern and edging.
