Fallen Leaf Shawl

This elegant triangular shawlette knitting pattern is designed to be worked from the center outwards, providing a unique and enjoyable crafting experience. Featuring a captivating ruffled crochet edging, this shawlette is not only beautiful but also practical. To create the delicate ruffles, begin by casting off loosely before working four double-trebles into each stitch. This technique ensures that your ruffles are both dense and delicate, making it suitable for a variety of lace yarns. If you desire longer ruffles, simply add extra rows of double-treble (dtr) into each stitch for added effect. Alternatively, for those who prefer a knitted edge, you can achieve a lovely ruffle by increasing your stitch count by 3-4 times and working in stocking stitch for a different texture.

Size
This shawlette measures 140 cm in width and 70 cm in height, making it a versatile accessory that can be worn in multiple ways.

Yarn
For this project, you'll need Jamieson’s of Shetland Cobweb Ultra, a luxurious lace weight yarn crafted from 50% lambswool and 50% Shetland wool. Each ball contains 194 meters and weighs 12.5 grams. You will require 4 balls (12.5g each) in the Natural Black (101) shade. Please note, using crochet ruffles will consume some yarn. The knitted sample weighs approximately 35g (approximately 550m) before adding the ruffles and about 47g (around 730m) after the ruffles are complete, making this a lightweight yet cozy addition to your wardrobe.

Tension
The required tension is 28.5 stitches and 32 rows to 10 cm (blocked) over the lace stitch when using 3.5 mm needles.

Needles & Accessories
You will need one set of 3.5 mm needles (UK size 9-10) to complete this stunning shawlette, along with any other accessories typically used in your knitting projects.
