Inspired by the delicate blossoms and budding fruits of Asian pears (Pyrus pyrifolia) in early spring, Pyrifolia is an asymmetrical shawlette with lace accents and a deeply scalloped edge. Beginning with a few stitches, the shawlette increases along one edge and is designed to maximize whatever yardage you have on hand. Soft clusters alternate with lace Vs for an elegant modern look. The shawlette edge finishes with a tiny picot border.

Pattern has been tech edited and tested.
