Back to the roots
Immerse yourself in the beauty of nature with our exquisite Leaf Design Shawl knitting pattern. This unique shawl features two stunning leaf motifs that celebrate the elegance of flora. In the heart of the shawl, intricate cables represent the essential roots that every plant needs to thrive. For those looking to add a touch of sparkle, optional beads can be incorporated to symbolize water and nutrients nourishing these vital roots.
This shawl is knitted from the top down, allowing for a customizable fit and an engaging knitting experience. It concludes with an optional beaded bind-off that adds a beautiful finishing touch to your creation. Instead of the traditional garter stitch selvedge, we've added an eye-catching cable edge that enhances the overall aesthetic of the shawl.
Size: The finished shawl measures 83cm (33'') in width and 112cm (44'') in length, making it the perfect accessory for any season. Refer to the last picture for proportions and style inspiration.
Needles: You'll need 3.5mm (US 4) knitting needles to bring this shawl to life.
Yarn: We recommend using handspun Drachenwolle Merino-Kammzug for a luxurious feel, but feel free to substitute with any lace to light fingering weight yarn for similar results.
Difficulty: This pattern includes advanced lace and cable knitting techniques, with the option to add beads using a tiny crochet hook for those who want to enhance their shawl’s detail. Beading is optional, allowing you to customize the shawl to your preferences.
