Flower of Cebu Reversible Shawl by Christiane Burkhard
What is Being Made
The Flower of Cebu is an advanced-level reversible shawl design created by independent designer Christiane Burkhard. This downloadable knitting pattern produces a versatile shawl constructed from eight petals arranged around a central middle section. The shawl's reversible nature makes it a two-sided garment, offering different visual presentations depending on which side is worn facing outward.
Design Structure and Yardage
The shawl is built using a modular construction method, with each petal requiring specific yardage amounts. The pattern calls for approximately 646 yards total of fingering weight yarn distributed across the following components:
- Petals 1 and 8: approximately 70 yards each (18g)
- Petals 2 and 7: approximately 84 yards each (22g)
- Petals 3 and 6: approximately 142 yards each (38g)
- Petals 4 and 5: approximately 186 yards each (48g)
- Middle Part: approximately 164 yards (43g)
This modular breakdown allows crafters significant creative flexibility with yarn selection, making it possible to use gradient yarns, multiple colors, or leftover yarn from other projects.
Techniques Used
The Flower of Cebu employs a join-as-you-go technique, which is described as easy to execute despite the advanced difficulty rating of the overall pattern. This joining method creates distinctive visual effects on each side of the finished shawl: a beautiful two-colored line appears on one side, while the opposite side displays a garter stitch yarn join. A video tutorial is provided within the pattern to guide knitters through this specific technique.
Stitches and Abbreviations
The pattern utilizes fundamental knitting stitches and abbreviations including:
- Kfb (knit in front and back of the stitch) for increasing
- K2tog (knit two stitches together) for decreasing
- SSK (slip, slip, knit) for left-leaning decreases
- CO (cast on) and BO (bind off) for edge finishing
- Standard abbreviations for right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) orientation
Materials and Tools
The Flower of Cebu pattern requires fingering weight yarn, which is a relatively fine yarn weight suitable for detailed stitch definition. The pattern was photographed using Rauma Finullgarn yarn, providing a reference for yarn characteristics and appearance. Knitters will need either circular or straight needles in US 3 / 3.25 mm size. Gauge is noted as not important for this particular design, offering flexibility for different yarn and needle combinations.

This is a downloadable PDF pattern from independent designer Christiane Burkhard, making it accessible for immediate digital access and printing for reference during the knitting process.
