This listing is for the Actinotus Wrap pattern.

A is for Actinotus… Actinotus is the Path A option in Ambah’s recent This or That MKAL, a design where knitters can choose between 6 Path A or Path B options, either knitting a straight path or mix and match between the two. Now available as 4 stand alone patterns, Actinotus Shawl or Wrap and the path B versions; Bling-Bling Shawl or Wrap.
Can’t decide? Then perhaps the original This or That pattern is for you, find the Shawl here and the Wrap here for the combined A & B pattern.
Find all 6 patterns here.

Enjoy a journey of slipped stitches, mosaic knitting and circular lace resulting in a gorgeous triangular shawl. Choose two strongly contrasting colours for the mosaic sections and either use the same colour for the lace or have fun and introduce a third colour into your project.
The finished rhomboid shape is easy to wear in a variety of ways and will add a touch of something special to your wardrobe.
Actinotus Forsythii, the pink flannel flower or ridge flannel flower, is a plant in the family Apiaceae, native to the east coast of Australia, and found in New South Wales and Victoria.

The pattern includes both written and charted instructions.
