Tightly closed buds swell and grow fuzzy before bursting into glorious leaf in this small triangular shawl, which works up quickly in worsted-weight yarn. Featuring a tab cast-on with a decorative edging and spine, twisted stitches, and double yarnovers, the airy columnar edging is worked on both sides. Inset leaves add a finishing touch and a slight flare to the edging.

Suitable for adventurous beginner to intermediate knitters.
