Emma Ashleigh is a top-down, semi-circular shawl named after a family friend. Starting with a cluster of yarn-over stitches, these eyelets continue to radiate out from the centre and down throughout the body of the shawl. Once the body is completed, there is a line of yarn overs before beginning the lacy border.

Due to the size of the shawl it can be worn in the traditional style across the shoulders or wrapped around the body and overlapped at one shoulder in a more poncho-like style.
