Komorebi Leaf Lace Shawl – Pattern with Japanese Stitch Chart

The Komorebi Leaf Lace Shawl is a delicate, slender crochet shawl featuring an organic, continuous leaf lace motif, inspired by Komorebi (木漏れ日)—the poetic Japanese word for sunlight filtering softly through tree leaves.

Designed with a slender, scarf-like silhouette and subtle asymmetrical ends, it drapes with an airy, effortless elegance. While the continuous leaf motifs appear intricate at first glance, the pattern is built upon an intuitive, rhythmic 3-row repeat using basic stitches—making it an ideal, relaxing “mobile crochet” (moba-ami) project to take on the go.

Whether worked in soft botanical shades of Hitoe-ume (a delicate dusty pink) or Ominaeshi (a calm yellow-green), this one-skein design brings a serene touch of nature and timeless Japanese grace to your everyday wardrobe.
