The original pattern for this shawl was created in 2017, only using moss stitch. This pattern got a total make-over using a beautiful handdyed yarn for the moss stitch part and a lace section has been added for more interest. The shawl originally got it’s name because of the colors used, now the lace section where the flowers seem to be ‘wandering’ refers to the name.

This pattern is available in DUTCH, GERMAN and US English. There is also a bigger version of the chart added as a seperate PDF file.
