Liliiflora Shawlette Knitting Pattern For Sale



Liliiflora is another name of the purple magnolia flower. I saw a lot of these flowers blooming beautifully in the early spring during my trip to southern China, and was inspired to create a shawl that incorporated this motif.
This shawlette is worked from the bottom up and the narrow curved shape of lace is created by short rows.
Pattern includes charts and written directions, and stitch count totals for every row.
I also include tips on how to make a larger or smaller shawl and the yardage needed.

FO: Liliiflora Shawlette

In case you are wondering about the progressed of my Liliiflora shawlette after my last post, I am happy to tell you that it’s done and I really like the result. I really like the border pattern and at first I was not sure whether the lace stitch that I picked for the body would work. As you can see that the body lace pattern very lacey and holey and the border seems more solid that the body. Many times during the knitting part of the body, I was tempted to frog and choose more solid pattern or probably just use plain stockinette stitch. I am glad that I didn’t.

I used about 477 m or 530 yards of yarn to make 18 repeats wide pattern. I think the length is just perfect for a shawlette. I also think this pattern is perfect for 1 skein of Wollmeise.

Purple Magnolia aka Liliiflora

It's spring time, and I saw this pretty flower that really inspired me to make a new shawl based on this flower.



This time, I didn't make my shawl triangle shape instead I want to try a crescent shape shawl and this is what I got:



The pattern is in the process of testing now and I am planning to release it by this month. If you want to be notified when I release this pattern, you can subscribe here.
