This pattern isn’t as hard as it looks but it sure takes a good eye and attention to every stitch. I knitted 9 increase leaves at the beginning, 2 center leaves, 9 remaining decrease leaves. This is the perfect length. The first leaf is tricky and at one point you’re knitting backwards but that’s how you do it. Follow those pictures and it will help.

This yarn is luxurious! It drapes and flows around my shoulders and neck. Will be buying it again for other projects.

One thing that helped out enormously is that I enlarged the pattern on the page that rows 29-52 is written on. It was so much easier to read and follow and my speed picked up right away.
