We have two versions of the Fading Flower Stitch Shawl but are slightly different from each other. Choose the best one you like. The first version is the purple one, where the flower stitch is done with treble front posts. It's highly textured and can be time-consuming. This was designed in 2022. For 2023, they revisited the design again but removed the front post trebles. It's much easier and faster to do.
Both of the patterns have a scalloped edge. To keep the balance, the edging must be done in even numbers. Like 6, 8, 10 and more. The shawl itself has 18 scallops.
The Crochet Pretty Flowers Shawl has a deep texture with a flower pattern created by fan shapes for upper and lower semi-circles. Once I understood the pattern, I repeated and is pretty easy and changed my mind from an intermediate level to an easy level.
It's hard to see how deep the texture is in the real sample. Me, I was quite surprised by it.
The free pattern includes a crochet diagram to follow, which helps give visual cues on where the stitches go.

Crochet Fading Flowers Shawl
This version is 2023 where Caron Colorama Halo is now a cake format. Executed in the same way for colouring but instead of the textured textures, they want you to use the trebles in the regular stitch placement instead of using the posts. This 2023 Version is equally beautiful.

More Ideas
I couldn't help but think of these two blankets below. Both use a similar stitch to crochet the flowers. Not with the front posts but similar look with a spacer between the flowers. You can click on the photos to get the free pattern and matching tutorials.
