This pattern allows for a lot of creative exploration because at its heart, it involves basic elements that are eager to be played with by you as a maker. Inspired by the Pooling by the Pool Shawl pattern by Chic and Regal Knits and the ultra glamorous Tangerine Twlight from my friend at Knitique Yarns, this pattern features DYO and TYO knit stiches that open up the fabric to reveal a hidden leaf shape that is visible from both sides. Follow the technique guidelines below for clean edges and a sturdy final project.

While originally created for the Houseplant HortOCCULTure colourway, this pattern would look great with any colourway from Arcane Fibre Works, such as Bountiful Bouquet or Here Comes the Sun.
