Filigree Flowers Shawl

A very delicate shawl and really not as hard as it looks!

$3.80 Au

Filigree Flowers is a delicate shawl comprised of simple shells for the border and for the main body of the shawl, Solomons/Lovers Knots.

Nestled in between the knots are 4 petal flowers. Photo tutorials show how to create these delicate flowers.

Lovers/Solomons knot may look a difficult stitch but it is in fact a simple stitch and works up quickly. The results of combining shells and knots together is quite satisfying.

The pattern is a four row repeat and best results are achieved with a light fingering weight yarn. I used Alize Angora Gold Simli for mine. Success has been achieved with this pattern in several other yarns including Lion Brand Shawl in a ball.
