This is a digital download — your PDF will be delivered automatically after purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis triangular shawl combines a simple ribbed background with a gradient of textural flower-shaped bobbles. It starts at the corner in a solid colour yarn. Slowly, as the stitch count increases, a second yarn fades into view. The second skein consists of a background colour covering the majority of the skein and a smaller amount of intermittent \"pop\" colour. As the knitter encounters each contrasting shade, a special bobble technique is used to create a three-dimensional flower. Just like a paper-wrapped bouquet of flowers from the grocery store, what starts as a nondescript wedge of colour suddenly blooms into an astounding display of colour and texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you feel unsure about your skill level and would like to try the Flower Bobble stitch, you can watch and follow the free tutorial listed below on YouTube. Like most complex stitches, the instructions can take a few attempts to master, but the effect is worth the effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Yarn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pattern requires Extended Pooling yarn — a specially engineered yarn developed by Feisty Fibres and Xandy Peters for this pattern, and currently only available from Feisty Fibres. The flower bobble technique was originally inspired by the floral hues of the Dahlia colourway. Standard assigned pooling yarns will not produce the flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePattern Stats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinished Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54\" \/ 137 cm long and 36\" \/ 90 cm deep asymmetrical triangle with a 60\" \/ 150 cm top edge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYarn:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feisty Fibres Classic Sox, 437 yards (400 m) per 100g skein; 75% Merino Wool, 25% Nylon. 1 skein of Extended Pooling Yarn and 1 skein of matching solid.
