Hexaleaf

Hexagons are known for their remarkable stability and symmetry, making them a common motif in nature—from the molecular structure of a benzene ring to the intricate design of a beehive honeycomb. With Hexaleaf, we celebrate this striking geometric beauty by fusing it with the soft elegance of a leaf-inspired shawl.

The Hexaleaf shawl features beautiful hexagonal leaf motifs and is designed as a double-spined shawl, ensuring it drapes perfectly on your shoulders. This versatile pattern requires 400-600 meters of lace or fingering weight yarn, allowing you to create a stunning accessory that is fully customizable. If you desire a larger shawl, simply enlarge your work by adding additional repeats of the motif for a personalized touch.

The example blue shawl was crafted using 2 skeins of BC Garn Silkbloom Extra Fino, which comprises 55% Merino wool and 45% silk, offering a delightful blend of warmth and luxury. This yarn provides 328 yards (300 meters) per 50 grams, and we recommend using 3.5 mm (US 4) knitting needles for the best results. Once blocked, the shawl measures a generous 120 x 60 cm (47 x 24 inches), making it an ideal size for layering or wearing as a fashionable wrap. The gauge for this pattern is approximately 22 stitches per 10 cm in the delicate leaf pattern.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or a dedicated beginner, the Hexaleaf shawl pattern invites you to explore the world of geometric knitting while creating a truly unique and stunning piece. Download your free or premium Hexaleaf pattern today to start your next knitting adventure!
