Flowing between the Coast and Cascade Mountain ranges, the Fraser River plunges rapidly through narrow rock gorges and over towering granite walls. Beyond the canyon, the surrounding scenery abruptly transforms into lush forests, vast lowlands, and acres of farmland.
Fraser is a top-down, worsted-weight shawl worked without any purling! Squishy garter stitch adds texture, while slipped stitches add visual interest to this deliciously soft, cuddly shawl, making it an essential addition to any wardrobe.
