Florence Shawl

Florence Shawl by Florence Spurling for Loop London | Florence is a botanical-inspired shawl perfect for texture and colour lovers! Three-dimensional knitted flowers featuring bobble and slip stitches make up the unique trim that blooms along the shawl’s edge. Once the floral motifs are complete, short rows are used to shape the body, to achieve the very-wearable long, narrow crescent shape.
