Chou-gok

Introducing our delightful shawl pattern, inspired by the beautiful shape of scallops. While scallops are a common motif in crochet, they don't often appear in knitting, making this design truly unique. Throughout the creative process, I decided to embellish each scallop with an adorable daisy motif, resulting in a charming edging that enhances the overall beauty of this shawl.

This versatile shawl is worked from point to point, allowing you to seamlessly add the edging as you go. You can easily create a stunning shawl, even using less than half of your yarn before starting the second half. For your convenience, we've provided detailed instructions for both a triangular scarf version and a trapezoidal shawl version, so you can choose the perfect style to suit your needs.

The name of this shawl pays homage to the delicate daisies that adorn its edges. A literal translation of the term “Chou-gok” is “little chrysanthemum,” which I affectionately abbreviated to “little mum,” as it perfectly describes the appearance of a daisy flower. This connection adds a charming touch to the design, making it a lovely piece for any occasion.

This knitting pattern is thoughtfully designed to be fully charted and written out, ensuring an easy-to-follow experience!
