Sylvan Paths Shawl
The Sylvan Paths Shawl is an asymmetrical triangle shawl featuring a design of branching leaves. The leaf pattern used for this shawl is based on the leaf pattern from my Sylvan Tales series of designs, modified to use a combination of garter stitch and one-color brioche stitch. For those who have also worked the Sylvan Tales pattern(s), the stitch pattern will look familiar, but it has been modified to simplify the pattern a great deal!
Pattern is provided in written form, and is also partially charted. Video demonstration links are provided for the brioche decreases as well.

Gauge
18 sts and 36 rows = 4 in/10 cm, in one-color brioche rib stitch after blocking. Gauge is not critical for this shawl but may affect yardage needed to complete the shawl.
Recommended Materials
Yarn Wonderland Yarns Mad Hatter Sport weight yarn, approximately 690|970 yards/ 630|890 meters
However, any sport weight yarn that blocks well should work well for this pattern.
Sample was made in the large size using Wonderland Yarns 100% Superwash Merino “Mad Hatter” sport weight yarn, 344 yds/4 oz (approximately 303 yards/277 meters/100 g) in the Sulky Moon colorway.
Pattern was test-knit in a variety of fibers, including a wool/nylon blend, a mohair/silk blend, an alpaca/silk blend, 100% wool, and 100% merino wool.
