Dappled shadows, the thick scent of bark and earth, and the gentle touch of fern fronds combined to give this shawl its name. Fern Canyon, knit from the bottom up, is an elongated, crescent-shaped shawl that starts with delicate and drapey lace in the pattern of fern leaves. Topped with soothing garter stitch, this shawl is a study in beautiful texture that perfectly matches the contours of its namesake in the California Redwoods. Whether you wear it as a shawl or a scarf, this elegant piece will prove as timeless as the redwood groves, a perfect compliment to any outfit.
