Faded Leaf Shawl Crochet Pattern

Faded Leaf is a richly textured, two-skein crochet shawl worked from the top center out in a gentle boomerang shape. It’s the third design in the Leaf shawl series — an ongoing exploration of linen stitch textures, reinvented to create intricate, refined fabrics.

Designed in two contrasting shades, Faded Leaf features subtle colorwork that creates a mesmerizing effect: one color stands out while the other softly fades into the background.

This crochet pattern is perfect if you love clean shapes, clever stitch repeats, and sophisticated texture.

✨ Two-color design

Colorwork effect using only one skein per shade
