Description

Larksmeadow is a wonderfully simple shawl designed by Boo Knits, and it is just as suitable for everyday wear as it is for a bride. Highly adaptable in size, with the ability to work extra garter stitch or extra floral lace, it is easy to make Larksmeadow your own.

From the designer: 'We are very lucky to have the most fabulous farm near our home. They grow fields of flowers and harvest the petals to use as wedding confetti – very environmentally friendly, sustainable and insect friendly. In the summer, our green and pleasant land is punctuated by fields of red, white and blue (as well as a little pink and lilac) larkspur! No wedding is complete without confetti and it is truly wonderful to be able to use some that is grown on our doorstep.

If confetti is not your thing, and you prefer your petals and flowers in your own garden, then Larkspur makes the most wonderful cut flowers; as an added bonus they quite often self-seed so you will have them for years to come. As a nod to the Confetti Farm, I used a bead mix for my original shawl and applied them randomly (though I confess to ensuring there was never a row of three of the same color/bead) and used a little more structure for the final two beaded rows.'
