Bouton d'Or Shawl

Bouton d’Or Shawl feels like an old herbarium in which all the flowers are fixed in time to tell their stories. “Bouton d’or” is French for buttercup, this little yellow flower that simply makes the grass better. Its story is the humble story of summer happiness.

This shawl is worked from the top down, using the stranded colorwork technique, stockinette stitch and ribbing. It is made of three or four colorways of fingering to DK weight yarn. It is adaptable in size, as you can make the stockinette section as big as you desire.
