Row 19: skpo, k1, k2tog 3 sts

Cut yarn and pull through remaining st.

I left the tails long for sewing onto the shawl and varied the size of the leaves as I fancied. For a smaller leaf, omit rows 9 - 12. For larger leaves, just keep increasing. I also experimented with a garter stitch based leaf and varied the cast on and first row.

Enjoy!

I'll be off for a few weeks so see you when I get back.
