Wild Ivy Shawl is a top down shawl that includes both chart and written instructions.

For a while now I’ve been looking to design a shawl that incorporated a leaf motif in a panel section of a shawl. The result became the Wild Ivy Shawl! A column of leaves cascades down the spine of the shawl flanked by stockinette that eventually grows into a lace border reminiscent of ivy.

Fingering weight: Blue Ridge Yarns Kaleidoscope Superwash Sock Yarn 100% Merino 100 g: 400 yds/366 m (2 skeins); color Lime OR 525-575 yds (480-526 m) of fingering weight yarn

Note that exact measurements will vary slightly depending on gauge and how aggressively the shawl is blocked.
