Description

Louloudi (the Greek word for flower) is a crescent-shaped shawl embellished with garlands of daisy stitch that create a beautiful texture and perfectly utilize the color changes of a pretty variegated yarn. Knit from the top down, Louloudi is shaped into a crescent with simple increases on every row. Short rows create small slices of Stockinette between the strands of daisy chains and create an overall asymmetrical shawl. A picot bind off finishes things off. Taking two skeins of fingering weight yarn, either in one color or two, Louloudi is a light-but-warm and striking piece that will keep away the chill as you take a walk through the wildflowers.

The sample is knit with Inner Yarn Zen Superwash Fingering (100% superwash merino wool), an alternative yarn is shown below.
