Welcome to the Bursts of Aloha Set pattern. This pattern includes an ear warmer and cowl. The ear warmer is in adult and child sizes and the cowl is in medium and large, in the pictures I am wearing the medium cowl. The medium cowl is also a nice oversized cowl for a child. I was inspired by to create this pattern because it reminds of the flowers on a plumeria tree all bunched together.
The special stitch in this pattern is a jasmine stitch and I’ve included a video as well as links to help learn this stitch. With a little practice and patience, you can create this beautiful texture.
I hope you love this fun pattern! Please share with me on social media. You can follow me on Instagram HERE and on Facebook HERE! Tag me @pinkplumeriamaui and use #pinkplumeriamaui.
