Maid Marion Shawl

This design was originally published in Knit Now Issue 89 (June 2018) as the three colour version.
A circular shawl based on Elizabeth Zimmerman’s Pi shawl construction, worked from the centre out and beginning with Emily Ocker’s Circular Cast-on (an almost invisible crochet cast-on).
This circular shawl was inspired by flowers, especially roses, with the multi-coloured versions reflecting those that change colour as they open. I loved the idea of keeping the proportions of the petals the same as they grew, with more details appearing each time.
This pattern is both charted and fully written and includes 3 different versions of colourways with 1, 3 or 4 colours used.
