Bramwell is a top-down triangular shawl featuring two traditional leaf lace patterns. I love the way that rows of staggered leaves form a stunning fabric with lots of texture when worked in heavier weight yarns. Many leaf lace patterns are composed of simple stitches and shorter pattern repeats, which make them perfect for newer lace knitters. But even as an experienced lace knitter, I really enjoy working leaf patterns. I find the rhythm of them very relaxing and I love how intuitive they are to memorize. And besides, there is just something comforting about wrapping oneself up in a big leafy hug of a shawl!

Bramwell would be an excellent project for a first lace shawl, as the pattern is filled with detailed explanations, helpful hints and includes lots of video links that show all the stitches and techniques required to knit the shawl. The size is easy to customize; full instructions are provided, including how to calculate stitch counts for any size. 

While dimensions and yardage are provided for DK weight, Bramwell could effectively be worked in just about any other yarn weight, from fingering to worsted. For best results, a solid or tonal yarn made of natural fibers is recommended.

The Bramwell pattern includes both charts and full written out instructions for those of you who prefer not to use charts.
