The wildflowers in my neighbors’ yards remind me of the flowering fields I grew up with in New Jersey. Yellow, blue, purple, pink, or orange - the colors and plants may change with the seasons, but the overall patterns of color remain the same. This shawl is a modified triangle showing a stylized field of wildflowers, worked in stranded knitting.

The color work pattern in this design is worked from charts.

Note: This pattern is worked in rows, which means you will be working stranded colorwork on both RS (knit) and WS (purl) rows.
