Linen Leaf

Linen Leaf is a small **two-skein shawl** worked from the center of top (wingspan) down, which makes it easily adjustable. Extra stitches at each row end gives this shawl a lovely and comfy boomerang shape. The base stitch pattern, linen (moss) stitch, is modified **in an unusual way** to create wonderfully textured ridges with a touch of colorwork to blend both colors together. The pattern includes the written instructions, charts and a detailed photo tutorial on the new stitches used: how and where to work them. **MATERIALS** - Malabrigo Sock; light fingering / 3 ply; 440 yd (402 m) per 100 g skein; 100% merino wool - Hook: U.S. E (3.5 mm) - Yarn needle to weave in ends - Stitch markers **YARDAGE** * 1 skein each in shades 037 Lettuce and 346 Fiona colorways **GAUGE FOR SWATCH** * 24 sts and 24 rows = 4″ (10 cm) worked in linen st patt only.
