Skinny Leaves
This is called Skinny Leaves not because the leaves are skinny - and it’s not designed for skinny people - it’s a skinny scarf that measures 4.5 inches (11.5cm) wide, and is 68.5 inches (174cm) long.
Knit with Araucania Botany Lace, which is actually a light fingering weight yarn, the scarf is lightweight but has some substance that makes it perfect for cool autumn days.
The yarn is a hand-dyed wine color (colorway 2118).
Two basic lace stitch patterns are involved, with some eyelet rows where the wooden beads are placed (3 beads), and a knit-on edging.
You’ll need some lace knitting experience for this, but it’s a good practice piece if you’d like to improve your lace knitting skills, knit-on editing skills, and bead placement skills!
VARIATION
If you’d like to make a wider scarf, you can easily work two multiples of the pattern across the width (four leaves). The photo is in lighter color shows a variation made with a smooth fingering weight yarn on 3.25 needles.
The stitch count for the original pattern is 30 - as follows:
4+10+2+10+4=30
and for the doubled version is
4+10+2+10+2+10+2+10+4=54
