Falling Leaves
Introducing the Falling Leaves Shawl, inspired by the elegant Gothic Foil Arch that adds charm and mystery to any garden or forest view. This exquisite shawl pattern beautifully captures the essence of intricate architecture, perfect for draping over a gate or window. As you create this stunning accessory, you'll be reminded of the enchanting secrets hidden within lush foliage and the tranquility of nature, making it a delightful addition to your knitting repertoire.
This pattern guides you in crafting a gorgeous triangular shawl worked from the top down, featuring approximately 600 beads that glisten in the light—starting from Clue 2, along with optional nupps spread across four rows to add texture and visual interest. For those looking to create a large size triangle, we recommend using 3 skeins of yarn; however, the amount can vary based on your knitting style. If you're more economical, 2 skeins could suffice on 3.5 mm needles. Remember, you know your knitting habits best!
**Yardage Info**: The sample knit used a total of 204 grams of luxurious Fairy Silk Sock yarn on 3.5 mm needles, achieving a gauge of 24 stitches x 34 rows = 4”/10 cm in unblocked stockinette for the 2-panel triangle shape. Here are the yardage estimates for your convenience: for the Triangle (2 panel) version, expect to use approximately 890 yards (812 meters), while my trusty test knitter used about 874 yards (800 meters). If you opt for the 3/4 square (3 panel) design, prepare to use around 1203 yards (1100 meters). Be sure to stock up on your favorite yarn and get ready to embark on this exciting knitting journey!
