The Mosaic Dreams Shawl is a delicate mosaic of tiny floral squares set on point, worked in lace-weight cotton and joined into a long, romantic wrap. Each little motif reveals a soft flower at its centre; joined together and edged with matching half-square triangles, they create an airy field of pastel bloom. The two narrow ends are left as a zigzag of open points, each finished with a hand-wrapped tassel and pearl beads for a heirloom-worthy detail.
Built from just two motif types - a full square and a half-square (triangle) - the design is fully customizable. Make it as a narrow scarf, a generous wrap, or scale it up to a full blanket. Motifs are joined as you go, so there is no sewing at the end. The scattered colour placement also makes this the perfect project for using up your lace-weight cotton stash - pick two shades, six, or every colour you own for a truly one-of-a-kind piece.
The sample is made in Hobbii Rainbow Lace, a 100% mercerized cotton in soft pinks, lilacs, and creamy white - light as air with just enough sheen to catch the light. The open lace texture drapes beautifully around the shoulders and blocks out to reveal the full delicate structure of each little bloom.
