Product Details
Similar to my [Miss Ellie’s Garden blanket/shawl][1], this one is a bit more spunky with it’s bright colors (in worsted-weight cotton) and solid stitch-patterning while also being a tad larger. The finished size of this heptagon is approx 66 inches across and is a joy to knit.
Worked in the round and starting at the center, you create a spiral-petaled focal-point. Switching to #10s and spoke increases, you begin to work shades of pink in the petals. I have added a few rounds of striping between the color changes to avoid harshness and blend the colors better. The final rounds are lime green leaves with a touch of the bright prink at the very edge.
