Leafy Trails Shawl is a v-shaped triangular shawl
with a central leaf panel, bounded by garter body on either side. The embossed leaf lace is interesting, and the squishy garter makes for a quick knit.

Knit in DK weight yarn, the shawl uses simple knit and
yarnover increases so it works up pretty quickly and makes for cozy wear!

Aimed at adventurous to intermediate knitters, the shawl is bound to become a special accessory in every woman’s
wardrobe and a perfect gift for all those special people in
your life.

The shawl is knit from cast on of a few stitches and grows to its widest edge with gradual increases that happen on either side of the shawl. The shawl is shaped like an isosceles triangle bounded by garter edges with the embossed leaf or vine lace panel running across the middle.

The lace panel is both written and charted.
