Paired leaves branch out in different directions along the length of this rectangular shawl. Double eyelets follow the delicate arch of each leaf.

The all-over lace is actually a 21-st lace panel repeated across each row 3 times. The first 16 rows of each panel feature two leaves branching out at slightly different angles. The second 16 rows then flip the leaves for a beautiful, intricate effect.

As you knit this gorgeous lace, you'll enjoy watching how the double and triple decreases paired with yarnovers create this fascinating lace design.

Lace is both charted and written out.

Exactly two 25 gram balls of the yarn were used to knit up this beauty, making it an inexpensive knit. You might even try it with other types of yarn for a very different, but equally lovely result.

Interesting Note: The lace is a modified version of an Estonian lace pattern, belonging to the "Lily of the Valley“ patterns. It’s called "Ingrid Ruutel Pattern" from The Haapsalu Shawl Book by Siiri Reimann and Aime Edasi and was created specially for the former first lady of Estonia.
