Autumn is my favorite time of the year. The scent of frost in the mornings, the glorious change of colors on the trees - the goldens of the Aspens and Larches, the brilliant reds of the Maple trees and Huckleberry bushes - bring comfort to my mind and heart.
As fall approaches I am looking forward the multitude of leaves changing their colors and gently falling to the ground.

I designed this shawl so I can wrap myself in layers of Autumn, even after the leaves have gone.

Pattern is written to be worked in a light fingering weight yarn. However notes are given to work a smaller version in a sock weight/fingering weight yarn or a larger size out of a lace weight yarn.
