Floating Blossom is a top-down, crescent shape shawl. Its center panel twists, trellis-like, with a ribbed cable. The body of the shawl holds floating berry blooms with more sweet cables bordering the shawl’s edge.

This shawl is the perfect easy, elegant knit. The cables look intricate but are straightforward and fun. Plus, there’s lots of stockinette to breeze through while your streaming or catching up on a good podcast.
