Jenny Ansah’s Tsinnia shawl was inspired by her memories of gardening: “Tsinnia” is the Finnish name for the zinnia flower. The shawl is a small bandana-like accessory with a textured pattern, featuring bobbles representing the flowers’ petals and seed stitch at their centres. Tsinnia has a triangular shape with an i-cord on the edges. It is knitted from one end to the other, first with increases and then with decreases.
