Botanika
Botanika is a classic triangular shawl worked from the top center back to the edge and is easily adjustable.
This design makes the most of a variegated yarn’s beauty by using clever stitch patterns based on the simple linen stitch. These stitch patterns are thoughtfully combined in a way that highlights the colorplay and helps the colors pop without pooling or hiding the stitches.
★ The pattern has been professionally tech edited
★ Written out and charted, with photo tutorials and an additional chart which can be used to make a swatch, practice these stitches, or crochet a rectangular accessory such as a scarf or a stole.
★ Language: English (US crochet terms)
