Liliiflora Shawlette
Discover the beauty of the Liliiflora, also known as the purple magnolia flower, with our exquisite shawlette knitting pattern. Inspired by the breathtaking sight of these flowers blooming in early spring during my journey through southern China, this design captures the delicate essence of the magnolia in a stunning and wearable piece.
This beautifully crafted shawl is worked from the bottom up, featuring a narrow, curved lace shape that is masterfully created through short rows. Whether you're a seasoned knitter or an ambitious intermediate, this pattern is a delightful challenge to enhance your skills.
The pattern includes comprehensive charts and detailed written instructions, alongside stitch count totals for every row to ensure your project progresses smoothly. Additionally, I provide valuable tips on how to customize your shawl, whether you’d like to make it larger or smaller, along with the necessary yardage information to help you plan your project effectively.
