Hibiscus, knitted
The inspiration, as so often, comes from nature. During a walk in
the wonderful garden of a friend, I especially liked the hibiscus.
Since shortly before that I had crocheted the shawl "Hibiscus"
and wanted to pick up this idea again in a knitted version,
this color idea came to me. Well, you can see the result here, and
I am thrilled.

This Bobbel can be reordered and is of course called
"Hibiskusblüte".
The colors: Mango- Fuchsia- Bishop- Apple- Fern
(Links at the end of the pattern)
Variations: Of course, not everyone wants to knit with an 8-strand Bobbel; most of the time
there are 3- or 4-strand ones. Of course, you can also
use those.
There are 2 options.
1. you use the specified
stitch counts; the shawl will be finer, the corners smaller, and the
ruffle more ruffled.
2. you go by the cm measurements and cast on more stitches and
knit more rows.
Measurements are farther down at the end of the pattern.
