Changing Leaves Shawl

This is a remake of my Cupcake Shawl. After completing my second shawl using a new colorway from Done Roving Yarn, I find that I love it even more! I’m changing the pattern name to reflect the shape of the shawl and the changing colors from the gradient dying technique. Instructions are both written and charted so you can use the method you prefer.
If you have already downloaded tell Cupcake shawl there is no need to download this version. The only difference is that the body on this shawl has 4 more rows so blocked a littler larger.
Made up of mostly garter stitch with simple increases and decreases, I decided to spice it up just a bit by using Right Twist cables down the 3 spines instead of just a single stockinette stitch. This also created the ”Magic Number 4 Property”. To finish it off I decided to use a simple applied lace edging which is worked perpendicular to the shawl and attaches to the body of the shawl as it is knitted. This means that there will only be 9 stitches to bind off at the end of construction!
Magic Number 4 Property: Use a different weight yarn with appropriately sized needles. Add more rows, or remove some rows to get the wingspan that is just right for you! Because the shawl begins with a multiple of 4 stitches, the increases are a multiple of 4 stitches, and each edging repeat requires 4 stitches, there is no need to worry about reaching a magic number. It will just work no matter how big or small you decide to make your shawl. Just remember that any changes you make will affect the yarn requirements and be sure to save approximately 25% of your total yardage for for the applied edging.
