Perennial Garden Shawl
Perennial Garden Shawl
Perennial Garden Shawl was inspired by the natural beauty found in the layering and variety of shapes, textures and colors found in my own perennial gardens. I love the way a garden can shift and grow from one year to the next, as the wind, birds and animals assist in the natural spreading of seeds, providing a garden with a balanced yet layered blending of colors. The Perennial Garden shawl was particularly inspired by my garden in late Spring / early Summer, when the garden is lush and adorned with many different shapes and colors.
Perennial Garden Shawl features a variety of slip-stitch designs and a modified two-color garter stitch. This pattern requires three complementary colorways that will highlight the subtle textures.
