Miley
Everything you can imagine is real *
Meet Miley, a statement shawl with strength and softness in equal measure. Its large, sculptural flower motifs bloom from a classic garter tab start, their petals shaped by flowing cables. Inspired by a certain song about independence and self-love, Miley reminds us that yes, you can knit yourself flowers.
Miley is a large, symmetrical triangular shawl that is worked top-down from the center out, starting with a classic Garter Tab Cast On. The large flowers are created by cabling stitches according to the Flower Pattern Charts.
