on the forest floor
Dappled sunlight filters down to moist ground, vines reach up along tree trunks, there’s mushrooms in the shady undergrowth and moss on old tree stumps. Shoots and twigs grow and stretch up towards the light, over and under everything are twisted roots.
All that and more you’ll find on the forest floor.
A more substantial shawl that can keep you warm while mushroom hunting as much as walking through windswept streets.
This textured shawl uses simple techniques to produce stunning results. Knit, purl, and two types of increases is all you need. And there is a video tutorial for the easy appliqué crochet technique used.
