Carefully trained and pruned trees can be so impressive, an apple espalier was one of my first garden dreams. But my garden is wild, instead, I spend my time knitting. Here, a leaf stitch has been given a trellis to grow on. The stem twists gently and the edge displays a full foilage.
Espalier is a triangle shawl with a center lace panel instead of a single center stitch. The pattern is charted, adaptable in size, and it includes cables, therefore a cable needle is also required. Requires 500 to 600 meters of fingering weight yarn.
Green shawl used 1 skein Wollmeise Pure in Grashüpfer [100% wool, 575 yd/526 m per 150g] on 3.5 mm (US 4) needles. Blocked size is 152 x 76 cm (60 x 30 inches). Gauge: 14 stitches = 10 cm in stockinette.
Purple shawl used 2 skeins Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Heuchera [100% merino, 420 yd/384 m per 100g] on 4 mm (US 6) needles. Blocked size is 122 x 60 cm ( 48 x 24 inches). Gauge: 18 stitches = 10 cm in stockinette.

Tell us what you think about it.
I like the pattern and the way the leaves and trellis weave together. the charts and instructions are fairly clear, once you figure out how she's put it together. The project is coming along well.
