Super Fun Pattern. I had a great time developing it. It’s super versatile. You can use bigger needles and yarn to make a throw or smaller needles and yarn to make a doily. Continue the petal pattern and make a giant flower!

There are charts for a medium and large size.

Note: This pattern is not for the novice knitter.
The beginning is challenging with double yarn overs and interesting things happening on the knit plain rows.

Also, you will need less yarn for the center motif. I used about 200 yards for the center. The petals for the larger shawl require about 800-900 yards. If you decide on the smaller version it you will need about 600-700.
