Donna legend shawl is a chunky, symmetrical shawl with the beautiful leaves pattern in the center of the shawl body. Additional accent is a shawl edge knitted of different colored yarn.
Working on the shawl design, I was inspired by an old legend about a beautiful and strong woman who always follows the call of Mother Nature. Donna means lady, queen, dame.
This shawl is knitted from the center top down with increases at start and centerline at the end of every RS row. The main leaf pattern repeats 4 times on the shawl body.
Difficulty Level: Advanced Beginner. You should be able to comfortably use technics: knit & purl, cast-on & bind-off, increasing, decreasing, garter stitch. But the detailed video tutorial for all technics used during the knitting process is added.
The use of bulky yarn makes this shawl textured and cozy. You need approx. 436 yards (400 m) of Super Bulky (Super Chunky) (5-6 wpi) yarn in 2 colors (218 yards (200m) of one color, 218 yards (200m) of another color).
The pattern pdf file includes detailed written instructions (for pattern each row) + chart (for chart lovers)+ bonus-photo tips for beginner level knitters + knitting check list.
Pattern has been tested. I would like to express my deep gratitude for my testers: katisha & LadyDaVinciKnits for their support & time in testing process

Happy Knitting!
