This shawl has a complex lace motif, intended for more experienced lace knitters. The lace is charted and written for the panel only over some sections of the shawl (you must keep track of your edge and spine sts between the panel motif). It grows unequally over the lace motif (in other words the increases and decreases are not always an increase of 6 sts every other row). Familiarity with lace shawl knitting, similar to Herbert Niebling is helpful when considering this shawl.
It has been test knit multiple times and should not have any errors.

I am continually inspired by the beautiful colours and craft we see from dyers in the fiber arts. I wanted to dedicate a shawl appreciating these skills. I designed this shawl, moved by the floral sts of Herbert Niebling, composing my version of the Avignon berry. The Avignon berry, or species Rhamnus, is a buckthorn often used by dyers and artists to produce a yellow hue.

This is a pattern for an half hexagon shaped shawl. It is knit from the top down with complex lace stitches and stockinette. The shawl’s leaf motif lace falls beautifully, and most securely, on one’s shoulders.
