Leonarda Shawl by Laura Chau
The two skeins of Squishy you have stashed are now spoken for - Laura Chau has released a luscious new stole pattern. Called Leonarda, the pattern includes three sizes - two triangular scarf/shawls, and a rectangular stole/infinity scarf. The stole shown here was knit in Squishy in Charcoal.

Depending on your color choice, this could be alternately fun or elegant, perfect for staying warm after sundown at an outdoor wedding or picnic.
The body of the shawl is knit in an elongated garter stitch pattern, and the detailing along the edge in a unique drop stitch twist pattern. The short sides of the stole can be sewn together to make an infinity scarf.
