Actinotus Wrao or Ocean Moon Shawl Kit
Enjoy a journey of slipped stitches, mosaic knitting and circular lace resulting in a gorgeous triangular shawl. Choose two strongly contrasting colours for the mosaic sections and either use the same colour for the lace or have fun and introduce a third colour into your project.
The finished rhomboid shape is easy to wear in a variety of ways and will add a touch of something special to your wardrobe.
Actinotus Forsythii, the pink flannel flower or ridge flannel flower, is a plant in the family Apiaceae, native to the east coast of Australia, and found in New South Wales and Victoria.
The pattern includes both written and charted instructions.
This listing is for the Actinotus Wrap pattern.
A is for Actinotus… Actinotus is the Path A option in Ambah’s recent This or That MKAL, a design where knitters can choose between 6 Path A or Path B options, either knitting a straight path or mix and match between the two. Now available as 4 stand alone patterns, Actinotus Shawl or Wrap and the path B versions; Bling-Bling Shawl or Wrap.
Can’t decide? Then perhaps the original This or That pattern is for you, find the Shawl here and the Wrap here for the combined A & B pattern.
