The Lilac Leaves Shawl from SweetGeorgia Yarns is a semi-circular shawl that is knit from the top down. It gets its name from the delicate stitch pattern that is used in the border. The beautiful semi-solid colorway of the yarn gives this shawl some depth without detracting from the stunning stitch pattern.

This pattern is a downloadable PDF.
