The Raking Leaves Shawl is a two-colour fingering weight shawl designed using my signature “curled” shawl shape.

Raking Leaves is a leafy design created from wanting to knit two yarns from my stash together, a speckled green skein and a black skein, and seeing the same green in the apples my little boy was picking from our apple tree whilst I was trying to rake up the fallen leaves.
