Gazania

This shawl was inspired by a photograph of my friend’s beautiful Gazania flowers. There is something so pleasing about seeing a striking flower in its glory, with vivid colours catching the eye and perfect patterned symmetry to each petal.

Gazania is a top-down crescent shawl designed with two contrasting colours. The main body is knitted in smooth, relaxing stockinette and then you start to grow the flowers row-by-row. Once the flowers are in full bloom, the contrast colour takes the lead to create a lacy leaf pattern along the border of the shawl.

The end result is a large, cozy shawl that encompasses the beauty and sanctuary of a peaceful summer garden.

Kits are available for this shawl, click here for details. Each kit comes with 2 skeins of Bluefaced Leicester and Silk yarn and you can choose from 3 different colours.
