Easy to work shawl based on a pretty leaf pattern with two different construction methods to choose from. Both versions are particularly well suited for working with a limited or unknown amount of yarn since you start at one point and increase from there until you either run out of yarn or out of patience.

This pattern recipe has been originally published in my blog under the title “Bottom-up Birch”. The revised version contains nicer charts and now has instructions and charts for a sideways construction, too.

There is also a French Translation available, thanks to Anneniva. Download the Word document from her blog at Dansmestiroirs.canalblog.com. Merci beaucoup Alix pour attirer l’attention de moi sur le traduction.
