Nuance and Leafette

A taste of lace

These two patterns play with a leaf lace pattern, which is simple enough for those who’ve never done lace before. Make a super chunky scarf or an elegant 4ply shawl; follow the pattern for your chosen option.

See Tutorials for help on increasing, decreasing and yarn overs. There is also a link to help reading charts if you’re new to these. Pattern includes both written and charted instructions for lace.

Refer to materials below for different options. Pattern is adjustable - you can use any yarn you want to achieve different effects and make it as long or short as you like, working until you run out of yardage.
