DESIGN INFORMATION
Sweet Leaf is a crescent shawl knit mostly in stockinette stitch and featuring a knitted on geometric leaf lace panel. The eyelet and picot bind off creates a unique finish to the shawl. The leaf lace panel instructions are provided in both charted & written format. Sweet Leaf is a great pattern for most shawl knitters, including adventurous beginners.

Designed with Wool & Palette’s sport weight in mind for a bouncy yet amazingly soft fabric. Lace stitches shine in the incredible stitch definition and the gorgeous tonal shades can’t be beat.
