Pattern Shawl Leaflight

Freshness that the morning brings you. Delicate rays of sun tickling your nose as you blink into the play of the first light filtering through a canopy of leaves. Leaflight invites you to savour this moment to the fullest. The curved shawl by designer Frances Othen-Wales gently wraps around you with the cosy volume of our Lovely Merino Treat in garter stitch, and is crowned by a beautiful lace border, which in the gentle Moods tone Pistachio is reminiscent of delicate green leaves. Pure nature to accompany you on every journey.  

With its main body in garter stitch, Leaflight offers you deep relaxation and mindless knitting. The curve of the crescent-shaped shawl is achieved with short rows and increases in this section. You then cast on new stitches for the wide lace border that runs along the bottom edge, and knit it perpendicular to the main section, while joining the two by knitting stitches from the lace edge and the main section together.  

The finished shawl is approx. 184.5 cm (73.5 in) wide and 35 cm (14 in) from top to bottom after blocking.

Explore invites you on a journey of discovery into the fresh beauty of nature–wondrously familiar and yet always excitingly new. The designs of our 2025 collection are reminiscent of the first ray of sunshine in the morning, the rustling and cracking of unknown forest paths, adventurous streams, and the incomprehensible expanse of the horizon. Because we are travelling new paths, and new spaces open up with Pascuali. In the safe light of our home harbour, we set off for new shores, while our heart continues to beat for sustainable and high-quality aesthetics. This is a collection that is warm and cosy, yet at the same time offers the freedom to explore–the whole world is waiting for us.
