Design
Arctic Fern is a maximized version of the Snow Fern shawl, featuring cables that slowly taper outwards and inwards, creating fern-like shapes. The edging is knit in garter stitch, allowing the unique cable pattern to take center stage. This shawl works up lightning fast in Super Bulky weight yarn. The entire shawl is charted and separate written instructions are included.
