A taste of lace

These two patterns play with a leaf lace pattern, which is simple enough for those who’ve never done lace before. Make a super chunky scarf or an elegant 4ply shawl; follow the pattern for your chosen option.

Single pattern includes tutorials for help on increasing, decreasing and yarn overs. There is also a link to help reading charts if you’re new to these.
Pattern includes both written and charted instructions for lace.
