For a limited time, get 10% off all Sweet Paprika Crescendo and Molto Crescendo sets with the code TULIPS !

Nothing symbolizes spring better than budding, blooming tulips. Tulips are beautiful reminders of spring and summer. Tulips come in almost all colors with each color having some symbolic meaning. While red tulips symbolize love, pink tulips symbolize happiness and confidence, purple mean royalty, yellow tulips symbolize cheerful thoughts, and so on.

The Tulip Season Shawl is an asymmetric, triangular shawl with a tulip lace border at the widest edge. The lace is “deceptively” complex and is fun to knit. The pattern is ideal for knitters wanting to use gradient sets, fade sets, mini skeins, or any leftover yarn. The shawl is ideal for adventurous beginners and advanced knitters and makes for a timeless addition to your wardrobe. This shawl is a sister pattern to my previously published Tulip Season Scarf in Knotions.
