Eden will add a touch of elegance to your look and create a long slenderizing ethereal effect to whatever you wear.

The shawl is V-shaped so it stays in place and there isn’t any bulk or weight around your shoulders and neck which makes it comfortable and cool. Eden is a stunning accent and the soft drape of dangling leaves add a timeless and elegant effect to an otherwise quite simple shawl.

With so many ways to drape this shawl for a different look for every outfit from jeans to dresses this will soon become a favourite to wear, any day and every day.

The shawl is knit from tip to tip with only the simplest of stitches suitable for all skill levels. While the leaves may appear complex to knit they truly are also just simple stitches. But no need to tell anyone who admires this just how simple it was to create this showpiece.

The pattern includes two sizes with two different lengths to choose from. There is also a detailed photo tutorial to show how to stitch the finished leaves to the shawl.

Would you prefer a SCARF instead?
