Sleepy Maple is a large, soft and warm knitted shawl pattern, inspired by the stunning colours of the autumn forests in the Zemplén Mountains. This elegant yet easy-to-knit asymmetrical triangular shawl is the perfect choice for knitters who love modern shawl patterns, delicate lace motifs and relaxing sections of garter stitch.

The shawl begins at one corner and is worked diagonally towards the opposite side. The pattern is based on an alternation of garter stitch and a large, easy lace pattern, which lends the finished piece a unique texture and effortless elegance. The lace pattern is quick to memorise, making the knitting process enjoyable and smooth.

The Sleepy Maple shawl is perfect for the changing seasons, cool autumn walks and stylish layering.
