The stunning leaf and diamond geometry of the stitch pattern used in RosyPosy Designs' Forgotten Garden top-down shawl reminded me of an intricate garden hedge maze, such as the one described in Kate Morton’s engrossing novel, The Forgotten Garden. Three sizes are given; the size can also be adjusted by changing yarn weight and needle size (adjust yardage accordingly) or by changing the number of half-repeats worked.

Skill level: Intermediate to Advanced. Due to the length of the stitch pattern repeat, only charted instructions are provided. The lace stitches are worked only on right side rows; they are not technically difficult but do require concentration.
