I love palm trees! This leaf pattern is from knitting legend Barbara Walker’s first Treasury of Knitting Patterns, 1968. I designed an afghan strip from it: adding background stitches, stockinette columns and selvage stitches. There are multiple 2-stitch cable crossings but the rest is knit and purl. The afghan strip is a constant 28 stitches across and the repeat is just 12 rows! This pattern could be used as part of an afghan or repeated across an entire afghan separated by narrow stockinette columns.
Skills needed: long-tail cast on, knit, purl, slip, 2-stitch cables and bind off in knit stitch.

Gauge is not important in this pattern. Any block-able yarn/thread will work. Make a swatch to check size and looks.

8 yards of Uni Merino yarn will make one 12-row repeat in the stated gauge. Sample in photo has 4 repeats.
