Triangular shawl in a two coloured mosaic stitch pattern and a contrasting garter stitch edge.

Finding a name for my designs is sometimes the most difficult part of the process of creation. Originally I had another name in mind for this design but as the shawl grew on my needles I thought it looked more leopard-like. So I changed the name to Leopard and will save the other name for a future design.
