Venture into the woods with this cozy shawl, both literally and figuratively. It’s perfect for forest walks in winter, but with the fir trees lining every edge of the shawl, it will bring the forest to you, even on busy city streets!

NOTES

The instructions mention RS and WS. However, the shawl is fully reversible and you can decide which side you like more when wearing it.

The shawl is worked from one corner of the seed stitch center to the opposite charted border. Then stitches are picked up from the top edge to work the charter border there and finally the same is repeated for the third edge of this asymmetric triangle shawl.
