The triple lobed leaves of the edge detail bring to mind the leaves of the Sassafras tree. These trees are beautiful in the early spring when the red tipped leaves emerge. This is a
triangular shawl with a garter stitch border that is knit from center back to the bottom edge. Yarn overs at each end and along the center stitch are used to form the triangle shape. Increases are worked on right side only. This pattern includes two sizes, shawlette (shawl).
The pattern for this shawl is partially charted.
