Fallen Leaf Shawl

Experience the warmth and comfort of our stunning cozy shawl, ideal for wrapping around yourself on cool autumn days as the world transforms into a tapestry of colorful fallen leaves. This beautifully designed shawl features a simple yet captivating asymmetrical texture created using the lateral braid stitch, commonly known as the Estonian or Vikkel braid. This intricate technique adds visual interest while maintaining a design that remains easy to knit, making it perfect for enjoying cozy knitting sessions with friends or getting lost in your favorite movie. You have the flexibility to use any weight yarn by simply adjusting the number of repeats, ensuring this shawl can be tailored to your individual taste and style.

For this project, you will need 3 skeins of Queensland Collection Rustic Tweed (composed of 65% wool, 25% alpaca, 7% acrylic, and 3% viscose; with 318 yards/290 meters per skein) in the beautiful colourway Olive, or approximately 950 yards of DK weight yarn. If you prefer, you can also substitute with any yarn of your choice, whether it’s for a lighter or heavier weight, adapting the number of pattern repeats to create the perfect size shawl that suits your needs.

Make sure you have US 7/4.5 mm circular needles with a long cord of at least 32”/80cm to accommodate the expansive wingspan of this shawl.

Once completed, you can proudly showcase your finished project, which boasts an impressive wingspan of 65 inches and a depth of 27 inches at the center.
