Leaves blowing in the wind. Not your everyday pattern. Not all written, not all charts…..something a little different.

The asymmetrical shawl is shaped through simple increases (kfb) and decreases (k2tog) on both the right and left edge of knitting.
Beginning at the smaller end the leaves grow in size as the width of the shawl also increases. In all, 6 different sized leaves. The crocheted picot edge is added on after the shawl is knit.

I am presenting this pattern as a road map. I show the direction and how far to go in each row, just follow the signs along the way. If you get lost, give me a shout.

All rows are knit, so no fancy stitches with the exception of slipped sts. at the beginning of rows and, of course, the short rows. I use the Double Stitch method, so easy. You simply knit to where you turn and do just that, turn your work. With a slight manipulation of the last st worked, continue on your way. If you are unfamiliar, take a look on YouTube.
