Flourish: A Knitted Triangle Shawl

flour·ish: \?fl?r-ish, ?fl?-rish\ verb: to grow luxuriantly; noun: a decorative or finishing detail; a luxuriant growth or profusion.

All these definitions of flourish beautifully apply to this eye-catching, dramatic shawl pattern. Designed to be knit from the top down and at a larger gauge, this shawl embraces a modern look while showcasing intricate, cascading motifs. The large, bold leaves spread elegantly from the center, creating a lush and vibrant statement piece, particularly stunning when crafted in jewel-toned yarns.

This versatile knitting pattern features detailed charted instructions for three distinct sizes: Small, Medium, and Large. Knitters can easily adjust the size by selecting different needle sizes, choosing yarn of varying weights, or adding additional pattern repeats. This pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters who are looking to enhance their skills and create a stunning accessory.

Approximate measurements after blocking and required yardage for each size are as follows: Small: 40" wide x 16" deep (requires 210 yds), Medium: 50" wide x 24" deep (requires 320 yds), and Large: 58" wide x 28" deep (requires 400 yds). Be mindful that the Large size utilizes almost exactly 400 yards of yarn; if you find yourself running low, consider working fewer edge rows, or opt to introduce a new skein if desired.

Samples of this gorgeous shawl have been knit using the following yarns: Madelinetosh Pastoral in the beautiful shade of Bosphorous (Small, blue), The Plucky Knitter Silk Merino Aran in the striking color Ginger (Medium, orange), and Madelinetosh Vintage in the elegant shade of Duchess (Large, purple). Each yarn brings its unique character to the shawl, enhancing its overall aesthetic.
