Autumn Gold Shawl

Autumn Gold Shawl is a light-weight, crescent shawl that uses the Ginkgo leaf lace pattern. The Ginkgo tree is a traditional symbol of agelessness and timelessness. The fan-shaped leaves turn a golden yellow during fall, giving the tree its characteristic name – Autumn Gold.

The Ginkgo leaf lace stitch lends great texture, character, and sophistication to the shawl, while also making for an interesting knit. Combine it with delicate, solid, tonal or gradient yarn, and you have an heirloom piece that can be passed from mother to daughter.

The shawl is knit worked flat in one piece beginning with a beaded cast on, then a garter border, followed by the ginkgo leaf lace pattern and then a plain garter body. The garter body is shaped by short rows to form a crescent shape. The shawl is flanked by a 3-st garter edge at either side.

The lace pattern is both written and charted.
