Mint Leaf is a small two-skein shawl worked from the center of top (wingspan) down, which makes it easily adjustable. Extra stitches at each row end gives this shawl a lovely and comfy boomerang shape.

The stitch pattern is based on the linen (moss) stitch. It is modified in an unusual way to create wonderfully textured lines with a gentle curve, enhanced by eyelets for an airy effect.

This shawl is the second in the series using this technique. Explore the Linen Leaf shawl, featuring lines and colorwork, and stay tuned for more “leaves”!
