Their rich glow now flashes round the world.” - Henry David Thoreau* Every autumn, the world is treated to the incredible palette of the changing leaves. This shawl was inspired by the bursts of color surrounding us during this brief couple of weeks each year. Lacy leaves are paired with unique shaping to create a colorful asymmetric accessory that will last much longer than the falling leaves. Choose your colors based on any season you’d like... autumn is just the beginning. **SIZES** One size Wingspan: 77” / 196 cm Depth: 22” / 56 cm **YARN** North Bay Fiber ELEMENTAL FINGERING (100% Domestic Cormo Wool; 465 yards / 100 grams): **MC & C1-C6:** 1 50g mini-skein in EACH of 7 colors OR 200 yds / 183 m fingering weight yarn in EACH of 7 colors *Sample shown in ‘Sand Point’ (MC), ‘Gill Plate’ (C1), ‘Pumpkinseed’ (C2), ‘Caddis’ (C3), ‘Chartreuse’ (C4),‘Tobico’ (C5), and ‘Green Cottage’ (C6)* **NEEDLES** US 4 (3.5mm), or as required to meet gauge **GAUGE** 20 sts and 40 rows = 4”/10cm in garter stitch after blocking *(NOTE: Gauge is not crucial, but it will affect finished dimensions and yardage)* **NOTIONS** Knitting: tapestry needle, 1 removable stitch marker, 22 stitch markers (optional for repeats) Blocking: blocking mats, wires, and pins; see [my recommendations](https://www.paperdaisycreations.com/blocking) **SKILL LEVEL** Intermediate Tech editing by Cathy Susko Photo/model credit: Jill Zielinski ***For updates on my latest pattern releases and sales, sign up for my newsletter [here](http://eepurl.com/dePhNH), join my [group page](http://www.ravelry.com/groups/paper-daisy-creations), or follow me on Instagram (paperdaisycreations)!***
