If you’re looking for a showstopper project to knit this summer/winter (depending where you are in the world), take a peek at KC Knitting Co’s Stromanthe shawl.
This lovely leaf-covered design uses sportweight yarn and stranded colorwork to evoke the leaves of the tropical Stromanthe sanguinea plant. This intense colorwork is countered with a Garter Stitch edging.
The original yarn used was a blend of wool and linen, making it perfect for warmer weather, but you can make it with a 100 percent wool yarn, too, if you want something warmer.
Either way you can learn more and get a copy of the pattern on Ravelry.
