Knit Falling Leaves Shawl Pattern & Tutorial
Updated: Aug 1, 2025
Hello friends! I'm so excited to share today's free pattern: the Falling Leaves Shawl. You can find the PDF pattern in all my shops, and I'm loving how it looks in this dusty rose color!
Want to knit this yourself? You can grab it as a kit from Lion Brand Yarn! Use cde LASTJULY30 for 30% off all my kits, but this discount is only valid today. See all the kits here.
Most of the shawl is knitted in garter stitches (knit on both wrong and right sides) except the leaf pattern which consists of yarn over (yo) stitches for increases and a few different types of decrease stitch.

f 168 Mình từng lưu một đường dẫn trong danh sách đọc nhưng khá lâu sau mới có thời gian mở lại và nhận ra đó là bài viết từ website này. Nội dung bài khá dễ theo dõi, các ý được sắp xếp theo từng phần vừa phải nên mình nhanh chóng tìm được thông tin đang cần. Mình xem tiếp vài bài khác và thấy cách liên kết giữa các nội dung cũng khá thuận tiện. Khi đọc trên điện thoại, trang tải ổn, chữ rõ và thao tác chuyển qua lại không bị khựng. Sau khi sử dụng một lúc, mình thấy trang khá phù hợp để tham khảo nhanh những lúc cần tìm thêm thông tin.
This was a nice read. I like exploring Pinterest because there is always new content to discover. When I find a useful video, a pinterest video downloader can be a convenient way to save it for later viewing.
Such a beautiful shawl pattern! I love the elegant falling‑leaf lace detail, and it’s fantastic you added both written chart and helpful video tutorials for left‑ and right‑handed knitters. This looks like such a rewarding intermediate‑level project. Thank you for making this wonderful free pattern available! --wordcam
Có lần mình đang đọc dở vài bình luận thì thấy một số người nhắc đến LLWIN nên cũng tiện mở vào xem thử cho biết. Mình không tìm hiểu kỹ, chỉ lướt nhanh qua giao diện và cách bố trí nội dung tổng thể, cảm nhận ban đầu là trình bày khá rõ ràng, gọn gàng, xem qua xong thì mình lại quay lại tiếp tục theo dõi những bình luận đang bàn luận trước đó.
Sau khi thấy LV88 được nhắc đến trong một số nội dung trực tuyến, mình có vào xem thử tổng thể để tham khảo. Mình không tìm hiểu quá sâu mà chủ yếu chú ý đến cách tổ chức thông tin. Các phần nội dung được chia thành từng khu vực riêng, khoảng cách giữa những khối khá hợp lý nên nhìn không bị rối mắt. Menu điều hướng dễ tìm và việc chuyển qua lại giữa các chuyên mục tương đối nhanh. Trên điện thoại, giao diện vẫn hiển thị khá cân đối.
