Be leaf in yourself
Be-Leaf in yourself is a crescent shawl started with a narrow lace edge, then stitches are picked up from the long side and worked bottom up.
I am offering options for 3 different yarns but please note that gauge is not essential but will help in giving you an idea how big your shawl will end up. Shawl is sizeable, I am planning at offering an updated version for finer weight yarns at some stage and/or calculations to work with your specific yarn.
Option 1: super bulky weight 16st x 18 rows = 10cm -approx 400m used, size 7mm needles
Option 2: 18st x 19 rows =10cm (sock yarn+Fine mohair 2ply -double stranded- approx 600m of each used, 1200m in total - size 6mm needles PLEASE NOTE: WHISPER FINE (2ply - no option in the raverly for2 ply Skeinz mohair)
Option 3: 16st x 22 rows = 10 cm (dk or size 4 yarn)- approx 450m used= size 6mm needles
Final dimensions after blocking:
Option1: 150cm x 60 cm deep (20 leaves)
Option2: 180cm x 75 cm deep (25 leaves)
Option3: 130cm x 50cm deep (25 leaves)
Please note I knit quite loosely, the looser the gauge, the bigger the finished project will grow after blocking!
Pattern is suitable for adventurous beginners who want to try some lace, chart and written instructions are both offered for the lace edge. I trust any experienced knitters will enjoy a relaxing pattern and rows are getting shorter :)
I truly hope every time you wear it, this will be a warm and gentle reminder to believe in yourself !
I am happy for you to sell the finished project!
