Pattern Notes
This is a beginner knit project and will assume
that you can knit, purl and cast on and off.
You will create a slightly asymmetrical shawl,
working back and forth in rows. The pattern uses
almost all the yarn, so be sure to check your
tension.

Embroidery Instructions
1. Using the stabiliser, trace the template.
2. Arrange and pin the stabiliser with the drawn template to the shallow angle (bottom) of the shawl,
following the angles to line up the pattern with the edging of the shawl 5cm in from each edge.
3. With the yarn double stranded, embroider Flower 1, using the Lazy Daisy Stitch for the petals first, then
create the Bullion Stitch centre.
4. Rep point 3 for Flowers 1-6.
5. With Yarn E, backstitch the stems, adding the Lazy Daisy Stitch leaves as you go.
6. With Yarn D, embroider Flower 7 using the Lazy Daisy Stitch.
7. Trim the stabiliser and rinse until dissolved.

Attaching the buckle
