Cutting through steep granite walls and passing over the wild Coquihalla River, the Quintette Tunnels are a series of tunnels and trestles along the historic Kettle Valley Railway. Now a popular hiking trail, visitors are rewarded with spectacular views of the rocky canyon below and scenic Cascade Mountains.

Quintette is a top down triangle shawl beginning with a section of cozy marled seed stitch, flowing into a striking lateral braid, and then finishing with a section of squishy two-colour brioche. Pair your favorite fingering weight speckle with a coordinating solid or tonal for this fun, compelling knit.
