Pattern: Shh! Shawl by Jennifer Weissman

Yarn: Cotton Merino by Juniper Moon Farm

From Ravelry.com:

This shawl starts with a simple garter-stitch triangle. When the triangle is deep enough, leaves begin to grow down the center in a field of stockinette. The shawl finishes with a ribbon of garter stitch with pretty eyelet accents.

Although the pattern calls for aran-weight yarn, you can easily substitute worsted or DK. Just choose an appropriate needle size and repeat the lace rows until you are happy with the dimensions.
