Easily memorizable leaf shawl that knits up quickly with worsted weight yarn and bigger needles. The border is made up by slightly elongating the leaf pattern.

Looks great knit out of a hand dyed yarn. Mine is knit using some reclaimed cotton yarn that I dyed with black walnuts and rit red dye. I love the colors in it.

This pattern involves mostly charts for the lace and yarnovers for increases at the beginning, middle and ends of every other row for a traditional triangle shape.
