Like falling leaves in the forest, lacy motifs ripple down
from the top of this simple but stunning shawlette. Autumn
Leaves’ open work crochet is light and airy, yet warm and
comforting. Drape it over your shoulders like a classic shawl
or wrap it around your neck like a scarf, its versatility makes
it the perfect fall accessory. As you crochet the lace stitch,
your fabric may look crinkled, but don’t worry! Blocking will
relax and smooth the motifs into romantic looking hearts or
butterflies.
