Beanstalk Shawl

Embark on a delightful knitting journey with the Beanstalk Shawl pattern, featuring a beautiful design that begins with just a few stitches. Elegant columns of gracefully-curved leaves spring from the shawl's edge, shaping its triangular form and elegantly climbing towards the bind-off edge. The crisp texture of the lace includes intricate increases and decreases on every row, but fear not! With the strategic placement of stitch markers between repeats, the 6-row leaf pattern becomes not just manageable, but a rhythmic and rewarding experience.

Skills & Techniques: This shawl pattern incorporates essential knitting techniques, including working lace increases and decreases on both the right side (RS) and wrong side (WS) rows. Additionally, you'll practice knitting and purling through the back loop, making this project an excellent opportunity to hone your skills.

To keep your pattern organized, you will also need 10 stitch markers to help track your repeats.
