Northern Leaves

**Knitting Pattern: Elegant Shawlette with Shetland and Estonian Motifs** This exquisite shawlette is designed to be knit from the bottom up, showcasing a beautiful triangle shape achieved through strategic increases at the beginning and end of each right-side row. Featuring a captivating Shetland diamond/leaf stitch pattern combined with an intricate Estonian diamond/leaf motif, this shawlette is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their skills and create a stunning accessory. In this sample, I've incorporated a striking pink agate pendant sourced from Colombia, which adds a unique touch to the bottom point of the shawlette, elevating its overall aesthetic. This accessory is not only a stylish addition to your wardrobe but also makes for a thoughtful handmade gift. For this project, I used nearly one full skein of Hedgehog Fibres Kidsilk Lace in the vibrant colorway of Potluck. Although Potluck is a one-off colorway, there are numerous alternatives available in the red-russet palette that will complement the design beautifully. To create this shawlette, I recommend using US3/3.25mm needles for the body of the project. To achieve a beautifully loose and elegant finish, a larger size needle is used for the bind-off across the topline, ensuring the shawlette drapes gracefully. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your knitting journey, this shawlette pattern offers an enjoyable crafting experience. Embrace the charm of traditional techniques while showcasing your creativity with this delightful shawlette, perfect for any knitting enthusiast's collection.
