“Red Oak Leaf with Acorn Shawl”

Skill level: Intermediate - EASY to follow pattern with SUPER detailed explanations and bigger font.

Description: Red Oak leaf with veins and Acorns is a perfect combination of Autumn/Fall Season and the Beauty of Nature – Leaves with hanging down acorns - BEAUTY.
The Red Oak Leaves are made from different yarn colour because in Autumn/Fall, the leaves are in multicolours – which give them beauty (you can also make leaves in one (1) colour). Shawl is designed to be see-through lace look – can be done with knit (as per picture) or with crocheting net – I prefer in knit for the solid but see-through look. Once you complete lace place shawl, than you must complete leaves and acorn (if you desire longer shawl, than add leaves accordingly, if you prefer smaller shawl, you will need to make less leaves). After finishing attach leaves and enjoy – don’t forget to create leaf petiole for the authentic look.
