Five Day Flower Shawl

$5.20 Au

My intention with this design was to create a shawl that could be easily sized to suit, while also helping to use up stash yarn. I also wanted something that would be a fast and satisfying make — and this design ticks all of those boxes.

I’ve named it the Five Day Shawl, as it can easily be completed in five days by working one long row of motifs each day. I made the prototype in just four days.

I chose to use the same yarn throughout, but the sky is the limit with this one.

I do recommend using at least an Aran weight yarn due to the nature of the design. Chains are used within the motifs to create the petal shapes, and a lighter yarn may not provide enough structure for the best result. I also recommend a roving-style yarn, as it suits the texture and overall look of the design beautifully.
