Introductory offer Enjoy 25% off with the code BLOSSOM through April 30, 2025.

Knit yourself some sweet blooms to wrap yourself in. The Bliss-Bloss Shawl is worked tip to tip, forming a triangular shape and comes in 3 size options with a single, three or five flower version. Add pops of colour to the centre of your flowers, keep them uniform in colour or use up all those colours in your stash and make a bold statement. Want more flowers? Bliss-Bloss is readily adjusted for a longer, wider version.

Note: The flower intarsia instructions are charted only (no corresponding written instructions).

The pattern download includes two versions; the original and a left-handed option.
