Leaf Wreath – Blattkranz Shawl is the last of the “trilogy” of Herbert Niebling adaptations after Quadratische Decke – QD Shawl and Peony – Pfingstrose Shawl. Niebling patterns can be extremely complicated but Blattkranz is actually one of the simplest Niebling designs and a perfect pattern for someone new to lace yet interesting enough for more seasoned knitters. If you have always wanted to knit a Niebling but are intimated by the complexity, then Blattkranz is perfect as an introduction to his incredible design!
