Cherry Bloom

*Cherry Bloom has a free Row Map included, which makes knitting more accessible for chemo therapy patients and others who struggle with their concentration.

During October 2026, 20% of pattern sales from the entire collection will be donated to the official [North American KFTG fundraiser][2], supporting breast cancer research.** Join me for [the Cherry Bloom KAL][3]! There’s something really special about coming together as a knitting community, knitting the same project, and supporting breast cancer research with every Cherry Bloom we make. *When you add 5 patterns from my Ravelry store to your cart and check out together, the least expensive one will be free – a little treat to inspire your next knitting adventure!* Cherry Bloom is a soft, lacy shawlette in a tender shade of pink — the kind of pink that feels like a quiet bit of hope. It's a small project, but it carries a lot of feeling: lace that blooms stitch by stitch, a little reminder that good things grow slowly and gently, one row at a time. Worked in [Miss Babs' Billow][4], an alpaca/cotton blend with beautiful loft and the softest, cloud-like drape, it has a tender hand-feel that makes the lace pattern really sing. It's warm without being heavy, light without being flimsy — the kind of fabric you'll want to keep wrapped around your shoulders long after the last stitch is bound off. Whether you knit it for yourself, as a gift, or in honor of someone you love, Cherry Bloom is a shawlette meant to be worn often and cherished quietly. A small, soft thing, made with care, and full of hope. -- Pattern has been tech-edited and test knitted. Do you like my designs and want to be part of the journey?
