Autumn Leaves Shawl

"This shawl features a simple stockinette body knit sideways in a shallow triangle shape. The leafy border is knitted on at the same time. Made in a loose gauge, Autumn Leaves is an airy layering piece, just enough for when there’s a chill in the air. This design works great with a special skein of fingering weight yarn because you can weigh the yarn, knit to the half-way point, then start decreasing again thus making the most of your valuable yarn. Autumn Leaves can however be made in any size, using any weight of yarn. Just knit until you have reached half of your yarn or half the size you want the shawl or shawlette to be. Since the body is in plain stockinette this pattern works great with hand dyed yarns."
