The morning glory stitch is classy and complex. Two leaves framing a flower bulb all hanging down like flowers on the vine; but the stitch pattern is worked on right and wrong sides of the shawl requiring a bit of faith and counting to make sure stitches are lining up correctly. It’s just like watching the plants grow, with a little hope and lots of nurturing the flowers open into the sunlight!

The shawl can be made in three sizes: S, M, L

The pattern is given in full written and charted instructions.

Skill Level Intermediate: the shawl begins with lace stitches on right and wrong sides. It also includes double yarn overs, knitting in front and back of a stitch and decreasing on the wrong side.
