The Bessera shawl pattern is the third shawl pattern inspired by flowers. The first was the Gloriosa, and the second was the Daboecia. Put all three patterns in your cart and automatically get 25% off your purchase.

The main body of the shawl is a shallow, elongated triangle worked sideways from one tip to another. It is worked in one piece in mosaic garter stitch sections alternated with simple garter and slip stitch sections. Mosaic knitting is one of the easiest colourwork techniques, with just one colour per row.

The pattern is charted and written out. It has been tech edited and test knitted.

The yarns used for the sample:
Hand dyed with natural dyes, Logwood and Cochineal.
• Pontelana 4 ply, colourway Palo Campeche
• Pontelana 4 ply, colourway Cochinilla

Put at least 3 single self-published patterns in your cart and automatically get 25% off your purchase.
