Sancta Terra is a rectangular shawl with lots of delicious texture. To make the edges exactly symmetrical, the shawl is cast-on on both ends and grafted together in the middle using kitchener stitch. The grafting is hidden within a leaf-motif, so you can’t tell what magic is going on with this shawl. You can of course work the shawl from end to end, if the edges not matching doesn’t bother you.
