Crochet: Shawl / Wrap
Being an asymmetrical wrap the increases happen only on one side. The picots are incorporated into the row pattern which means once you reach the last row, there is no further finishing required for the shawl. After the first few set up rows, the pattern follows a two-row repeat making it a very easy pattern.

The perfect little accessory for a summer day. Using two contrasting colours, makes the floral design visible. The word Hoovina (ಹೂವಿನ) means floral in Kannada (the language of my state). The bandana is an extension of my square pattern- Little Puffer Square.
