New Growth Shawl

This is an asymmetric shawl with a textured leaf stitch pattern at the wider end that finishes with eyelets worked into the stitch pattern to form a small shallow pointed edging. It features stitch patterns which can be worked either from charts or written instructions, whichever you prefer

This is written as a one skein project for 100g skeins of fingering / sock yarn. There are pattern notes that suggest how this pattern can be made larger to make the most of your yarn if you were to have more than one skein or wished to make the leaf edging from a contrast yarn as has been done in the two colour example of the pattern sample.

The original shawl is one size, please see notes at the end of the pattern for suggestions on how to make this shawl larger if required.

Gauge: 17.5 sts and 22rows = 10 cm (4”) in St st after wet blocking.
