‘In the Sticks’ was inspired by the shapes found in leaves and twigs during mindless wanders in the middle of nowhere.

The shawl consists of two symmetrical triangles separated by a centre stitch. It is worked from the top down in one piece. The pattern .pdf includes both written and charted instructions.
