Linen 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 base stitch pattern, linen (moss) stitch, is modified in an unusual way to create wonderfully textured ridges with a touch of colorwork to blend both colors together.

The pattern includes the written instructions, charts and a detailed photo tutorial on the new stitches used: how and where to work them.

The shawl is designed as a perfect two-skein project. However, the measurements listed above are only guidelines and you can make this shawl larger by working more rows in either the body or edging section – or both. Bear in mind that in this case, your yardage requirements and finished dimensions will change.
