ABOUT
Baker River Shawl is a sweet little finishing touch for any outfit, whether dressed up or dressed down! During December of 2023, our river (Baker River) flooded, and the rushing water was so strong that banks were breached, and new river paths were formed. This shawl reminds me of the curving lines of the Baker River.

Knit sideways, this little piece is so much fun to knit up and the ruffle at the end is the best part : )
