The story behind this design

Knitting a realistic flower is a losing battle, because the stitch grid fights every curve, so this design stops trying: the blooms are broken into flat petal masses that the gauge can hold cleanly. What comes back in exchange is color, used more freely than a literal floral would allow. The effect is closer to a painted textile from the 1960s than to anything from a garden.

Frequently asked questions

A: 55% cotton and 45% polyester.

Q: Which sizes are offered?
A: Eight: 2XS, XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL and 3XL.

Q: What does an abstract floral mean here?
A: The flowers are suggested rather than drawn in detail, reduced to petal shapes and color masses that read as botanical without depicting any particular species.

Q: Is the floral knitted or printed?
A: Knitted into the fabric, so the design is part of the cloth structure and shows on the reverse as well.
