This shawl is worked with a unique blend of yarn overs and cables to create a highly textured forest scene. The cable branches flow organically from the tree trunks, meeting together in the middle of the shawl.
This shawl is worked beginning with a provisional cast on, and one side worked out. Then the provisional cast on is removed and the live stitches are used to knit the second side.
