Leaflette | Lace Kerchief
Design Information
Leaflette is a kerchief worked end-to-end in an interesting leaf lace stitch pattern. Once the desired length is worked, stitches are picked up along both sides to seamlessly work the eyelet and picot bind-off. Leaflette’s stitch patterns are provided in charted and written formats. It is an excellent pattern for adventurous beginners.
Leaflette was designed with Wool & Palette’s sport weight in mind for a bouncy and amazingly soft fabric. Lace stitches shine with incredible stitch definition, and the gorgeous tonal shades can’t be beat.
