Lovely floral shawl!

花柄のショールが素敵!

What a cute shawl! It's love at first sight. Amy Christoffers' Pressed Flowers has a fresh design with flowers scattered all over.

When I calmed down a little and looked into it, it seems that the pattern is made with mosaic knitting. In the past, I had a bitter experience when the threads got tangled in mosaic knitting and I couldn't finish the work... But this pattern seems to have a detailed explanation, and it's always fun to try new techniques.

It's cute to weave flowers with hand-dyed threads that are slightly grainy in a neutral main color like the sample, or two distinct colors like black and white would be nice. Also, although the designated thread is DK, there were some that used Spincycle Dyed in the Wool as a contrast color.

The autumn/winter season is about to begin in earnest, and how wonderful it would be to wrap this shawl around your coat!
