Florence
This pattern is published in 52 Weeks of Shawls by Laine Publishing.
This oversized triangular shawl conveys the feeling of being enveloped in someone’s arms. As a former intensive care nurse, Miriam Walchshäusl wanted to stand in for all the women taking care of others and also themselves, so she named the shawl after Florence Nightingale. The shawl is knitted from the bottom up with two yarns held together throughout the pattern. The delicate organic pattern blooms on a simple reverse stockinette stitch base. There are quite a few charts included, but don’t worry – you don’t need to understand the full pattern in the beginning.
