With so many ways to drape this scarf for a different look for every outfit from jeans to dresses this will soon become a favourite to wear, any day and every day.

The softness and lightness of the pattern gauge and needle size makes for a surprisingly “not bulky” feel to this scarf. Not to mention how quickly it knits up. You will have this finished and ready to wear or gift in no time.

The scarf is knit from tip to tip with only the simplest of stitches suitable for all skill levels.

While the leaves may appear complex to knit they truly are also just simple stitches. The pattern includes a detailed photo tutorial to show how to stitch the finished leaves to the shawl. Quick and easy, I promise.

But no need to tell anyone who admires this scarf just how simple it was to create this showpiece.

Super fast and easy knit. Even the leaves were great for tv knitting. Duckylogic

A lovely, easy project! Even the leaves are easy, and so pretty! I learn things from every Mary-Ann Lammers pattern. Jannoknits

I got the shawl and 6 leaves from the first 2 hanks so will have ample yarn to make a matching hat. cmspannbauer

Pattern was easy to follow. No glitches. I may have to make a couple for Christmas gifts. Goodnurse
