The Sweet Scent of Orange Blossoms
Orange blossoms are considered a harbinger of good fortune, health, and joy. Over the years, the orange blossom has become a sign for eternal love. The fragrance is a classic scent of springtime in Florida and evokes thoughts of sunshine and delicate beauty.
The Sweet Scent of Orange Blossoms is a rectangular wrap knitted on the bias, which means that it is increased and decreased by one stitch every right side row. There are large sections of garter stitch stripes, with slipped stitch and mosaic stitch patterns to keep it interesting. An adventurous beginner will find the slipped stitches easy to memorize but will keep seasoned knitters interested.
