Bloom shawl
Bloom shawl (bottom up)
Intro
Angora yarn with colour scheme of dreams and pattern to compliment it. The bloom stitch is rich in texture, contemporary and attractive. The stitch looks fantastic whether you use many colours or one. The stripes are made horizontally as the work is bottom up.
The pattern and instructions are both in UK and USA terminology. Uk is in bold.

Instructions
Yarn
Papatya Angora Yarn Cake 612
Yarnage 800-1100m
Alternatively, use any 4ply yarn of your choice.
Preparation of yarn
Each yarn cake is different even though it includes the same colour palette – if you would like to recreate the shawl as shown you might need to cut the yarn and attach as the colours in the photo are shown.
In addition, I have started each new colour on a new row as I did not want the transition of one colour to another to be in the middle of the row. If you are keen to do this you will have to separate each colour.
Hook used
4mm
Tension/ gauge
The larger the hook i.e. yarn weight the larger the shawl
Size to fit
One size
Resizing
If you would like to make the shawl smaller make less rows. If you would like the shawl to be bigger make more rows or use dk yarn and larger hook.
