I love the way one plays with short-rows here and can create a beautiful flowered piece!

The Design
Here is what Linnea writes:
Is there any better way to meet spring than in a shawl with a big bouquet of colourful tulips? Bukett is a two-coloured, slightly asymmetrical shawl knit sideways from one tip.
The bouquet is shaped with short-rows, and the entire shawl is knit in garter stitch. This makes it a very simple project that anyone can execute, as long as you know how to make knit stitches, increases and know how to slip stitches.
Yarn and Colorways
There are so very many yarns that work beautifully for this piece; here is just one suggested kit. It is not the same as what Linnea used to knit her original. You can see our selection in the inset photo on the top picture on this page and again below that.
Linnea says to plan on about 600m of the base colour (white in her original) and less than 300m of the contrast yarn (rainbow colored in her original). (The skeins of the recommended yarn are 300 m/100 g which makes them sport weight.)
Take a look at the Project Pages to get an idea of how different colors work with this design.
What our kit will have is as follows:
Base color yarn: 2 skeins of Ella Rae Eco Tweed, 75% organic merino + 25% nylon with 328 yards (300m) per 100 g skeins. The colorway we chose is Amethyst, a rich very slightly tweeded red-violet.
Rainbow-y yarn: 2 balls of Edition 3 from Schoppel, 100% merino,164 yards (150 m) per 50 g ball). These have the long color runs that Schoppel is famous for. The colorway we chose is English Garden and includes yellow, mint, ice blue, raspberry, and tangerine as the main colors I see.
Each ball is wound somewhat differently and so the colors that you see are somewhat different. I tried to pick two that show a good range of the hues that make up English Garden.
