This colorful shawl is knit from the top down from a pattern that forms a half circle. The body is knit in one piece, and then the lacy leaf border is knit on. You’ll finish the shawl by picking up and knitting stitches across the top, finishing off with a picot bind-off.

I used nearly 2 full skeins of the Lang Mille Colori Baby merino yarn for the body (415 yards/380 meters) and less than half of the Manos Fino silk/wool blend (approximately 100 yards/90 meters) for the edgings.

The overall dimensions after blocking: 42x20.5 inches (107x52 cm)

An intermediate level knitter will find this pattern enjoyable. The edgings may prove to be a bit challenging for a beginner.

If you decide to use a different brand of yarn for the body, check the self-striping pattern to ensure you’ll be happy with the result!
