Linen Leaf Shawl Crochet Pattern

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.

This pattern will open a new chapter of crochet textures for you, introducing fresh stitches and techniques, while practicing them in a delicate and graceful shawl sample.
