This shawl was inspired by a knit pattern I saw online. I am so pleased that it came out just the way I envisioned it would. I love the diagonal leaf sections! It is technically an asymmetric shawl, but the dimensions end up being like a regular triangle. With one cake of yarn you get a nice sized shawl that is lightweight and drapy and soooo soft! Check out our companion shawl: Climbing Leaves Asym Shawl.

This shawl starts at the corner with the first leaf section and increases on only one side. I would say the skills needed to make this shawl are Intermediate, but it will take a little intuition and experience to apply the instructions to each section.

To make my shawl, I used one cake of Yarn Bee 44th Street in the “Olive” color. My finished shawl is 51” across the top and 25” tall at the center point. You can use any weight yarn and corresponding hook, though I would probably not go above a medium #4 yarn because you will not get very many sections and will lose the effect.
