Notes From the Designer:
Acalypha are copperleaf plants native to Fiji and neighboring South Pacific islands. This semicircular shawl features several leaf-themed stitch patterns. It begins with a garter tab at the top center, progresses from simple increases and stockinette stitch to various lace stitches, and finishes with a knit-on leaf border. Just five increase rows are spaced throughout the body so that you can enjoy the lace knitting without worrying about an ever-changing stitch count.
- Click the Videos tab to watch a tutorial on how to knit the leaf border.
- Gauge is not crucial to this project, but will affect yardage and size.
- Pattern uses three colors but can be made with more or fewer if preferred.
- Shawl begins with the Garter Tab Cast-on. Instructions for this method are in Special Stitches on page 4.
- Blocking is crucial to showcase the lace patterns. Do not be afraid to stretch firmly.

Love the colors/stripe of this shawl. I made it in a cotton cat. 3 light yarn, self striping. My increase transition wasn't as smooth as Chandi's, but I still love it. Thank you EFA!

Beautiful pattern
I challenged myself with this lace pattern. I have never knitted lace before, it was too difficult, i though. Your patter was easy to follow. Certainly i had to frog a couple of times in the begging, may be that was the practice I needed. But the end result was totally worth it. I was so happy with it. I used a similar acrylic yarn, as I did not want to waist the money on more expensive stuff without knowing how that ends. Now I have purchased the very same yarn the patter calls for and can’t wait to make another shawl. The yarn is so soft and delicate, I can only imagine who much nicer it will look. Thank you for sharing this free pattern with us.

I haven’t made this yet but I think the pattern is beautiful!

I can't wait to knit this up. It's beautiful! Just enough lace to be feminine but still enough substance to be warm.

Review of order
Pre-ordered yarn that is not yet released. 1st time purchasing from this site. Easy to use web site and truly enjoy the videos. Looking forward to making one of the shawls I have downloaded with my new yarn.
Acalypha
This will be my next shawl - after I finish my third Anuket - I love the shawl patterns from EFA and the videos are also great to watch. Chandi is a little ray of sunshine
Acalypha
I downloaded this pattern for a friend because I thought it was outstandingly lovely. She did too--and she immediately ordered from you the yarn in the colors shown!
Acalypha
I am looking forward to doing this beautiful design. I have read through the pattern and it will be my next project. I can only say that it would be a real plus to have a chart for this pattern along with the written instructions. It would make it so much easier and provide a visual idea of what we should do. Otherwise this is a very attractive design that will keep my interest as I knit.

Acalypha Shawl Pattern
I stopped knitting last year after a minor stroke but I saw this pattern and had to make it! It looks complicated but it's quite easy in fact, even for me. I would just like to say 'thank you ' to Chandi of Expression Fibre Arts and great designer Janica York Carter for such a lovely pattern. I'm really enjoying knitting for the first time in ages!

This shawl was so much fun to knit! The pattern was easy to follow. I chose a maroon yarn that I bought locally. I can't wait for cooler weather to start wearing it. People I have shown it to all comment that they think. it looks like I bought it, instead of making it. I wanted to do a pattern where I started with the long edge and decreased stitches to the end, instead of increase the stitches like most shawl patterns. I will make this again! Thank you for the beautiful pattern!
Alcaypha
very nice

This is so incredibly beautiful. I hope I can do it justice.
