Posh Petals

Discover the beauty of layered “petals” in shaded color tones with this unique, slightly 3-dimensional border design for a narrow crescent shawl. This stunning shawl is crafted by utilizing short rows and is knitted bottom-up with sport-weight yarn, although feel free to experiment with different yarn weights (keep in mind that size and yardage will vary). While the showcased samples feature five vibrant colors, you can mix and match anywhere from one to five colors to create your very own eye-catching version of the Petals shawl. This project is particularly ideal for busting your yarn stash, making it not only beautiful but also practical!

If you're looking for a more dramatic look, consider adding an additional leaf layer to deepen the shawl's design; just be sure to adjust your yardage accordingly to accommodate the extra length.

This intricate pattern is designed for intermediate to advanced knitters and includes charted instructions for the lace section, allowing you to hone your skills. Techniques you will master in this project include knitting layers together, working simple lace patterns, executing short rows, and optional I-cord bind off for a polished finish.

The sample shawl was expertly knitted using The Plucky Knitter Traveler Sport yarn. If you're interested in substituting yarn, you'll find some excellent alternatives listed below.
