Free Pattern Friday – Bloom Shawl
Today, Bloom in Bamboo Bloom Handpaints and Poems Sock (pattern link here).
We’ve reached that point in late winter where we’re sick of all the drab gray. Fortunately, as needlecrafters, we can do something about that!
This pattern is written in two sizes, large (shown), and small. If you’re more of a blanket-sized shawl person, go wild with the large.
It’s a very simple pattern, using basic garter stitch for its foundation. The magic comes from the self-shading Poems Sock (the fuchsia bands) and variegated thick and thin Bamboo Bloom Handpaints (the lighter bands). It’s fun to watch the colors emerge.
With the right yarn, a basic stitch takes on character and depth.
We hope you have a bright and beautiful weekend.
Happy crafting!
